Second Circuit -- US v. Torres-Rosario

As-applied challenge to felon-in-possession statute TKO'd, as priors were for drug dealing, which is bad and potentially violent.

No error in referring to deft in closing as a drug dealer, as it was a common-sense inference.

Excluded statement useless and harmless.

Subsequent reversal on ACCA predicates justifies vacate & remand in the interest of justice, despite deft stipulating to ACCA priors at sentencing.
