U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-1361
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Wollman and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. The district court did not err in admitting
evidence of defendant's straw-purchasing scheme as context for the charged
offense of unlawful possession of ammunition, as the evidence demonstrated
the circumstances surrounding the offense, tended to prove one or more of
its elements and was probative of defendant's knowledge.
