051013P.pdf   12/15/2005  United States  v.  Richard Evans
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-1013
   Southern District of Iowa   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Melloy and Beam, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law and sentencing. Evidence was sufficient
   to support firearms conviction; no error in giving an Allen charge when
   jury indicated it was at an impasse after four hours of deliberation; no
   error in giving a supplemental instruction defining "knowingly;" any
   Booker error was harmless in that the court specifically stated it was
   rejecting a lower sentence as a "disservice to society," in light of
   defendant's extensive criminal history.
