043109P.pdf   07/15/2005  United States  v.  Edith Madora Hudson
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-3109
   District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Wollman and Hansen, Circuit 
   Judges] 
   Criminal Case - conviction. Defendant, who is a felon, failed to present 
   sufficient evidence to support two elements of legal justification defense 
   for possessing a firearm and thus district court did not err in denying 
   justification instruction. Must show real and specific threat existed at the 
   time of the unlawful possession and that there was no other reasonable, 
   legal alternative, neither of which was satisfied. Theft from a person 
   qualifies as a predicate offense under Armed Career Criminal Act. Other 
   claims without merit.
