053660P.pdf   02/05/2007  USA  v.  Robert S. Johnson
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-3660
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Wollman and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - Criminal law. District court erred in granting
   defendant's motion for a judgment of acquittal on firearms charges,
   as the evidence in the case was sufficient for a reasonable jury to
   find defendant knowingly possessed a firearm; district court abused
   its discretion in conditionally granting a new trial on the firearm
   charges as the district court failed to give due weight to the evidence
   tending to show defendant knowingly possessed the firearm. Case remanded
   with directions to reinstate the jury's verdict.
