U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 06-1930
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Murphy and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. Defendant could be convicted of a
substantive offense under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 924(c) based on a Pinkerton
theory of liability, namely that it was reasonably foreseeable to him
that his accomplice would use a firearm in furtherance of their
conspiracy to commit a bank robbery, even though the indictment did
not charge a conspiracy offense; evidence was sufficient to support
conviction under the Pinkerton theory of conspirator liability. Judge
Shepherd, dissenting.
