071888P.pdf   04/17/2008  United States  v.  Mykel Crawford
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-1888
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Bye and Beam, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law. Because defendant did not object to the
   government's introduction of the word "Crip," brief references to the
   word "gang" were not improper or prejudicial; references to a "bad" or
   "rough" neighborhood were not prejudicial or improper; government's
   inference in closing argument that defendant's possession of an SKS rifle
   was not for turkey or farming purposes was supported by the record.
