Fourth Circuit -- US v. Torrell Vann

Majority per curiam - For purpose of modified categorical analysis of priors, where the wording of the plea/indictment tracks two sections of the statute, the deft does not necessarily plead to violating both.

Concurrence - Categorical approach mandatory & dispositive.  Statute isn't an ACCA predicate.

Concurrence - Residual priors a hopeless muddle under Taylor.

Concurrence - Categorical required, as elements of statute aren't cleanly divisible.

Concurrence - Although the state supreme ct. has held the statute to be a single offense, plain text reading of statute reveals the disjunctive elements.

Concurrence - statute too broad, Shepard docs unilluminating.

C/D - Modified categorical = valid predicate.
