092334P.pdf   09/28/2010  United States  v.  John Worman
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-2334
                          and No:  09-2594
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Ft. Dodge   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and
   Colloton, Circuit Judge]
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Evidence was sufficient
   to support defendant's convictions for mailing, possessing and
   transporting a pipe bomb; while admission of multiple statements
   concerning rumors about a work dispute was error, it was harmless; other
   evidentiary challenges rejected; the severity of a mandatory consecutive
   sentence is an improper factor that a district court may not consider when
   sentencing a defendant on related crimes, and the district court erred in
   granting a variance on the first three counts in the case because the fourth
   count (possessing a bomb in furtherance of a crime of violence) required
   a 360-month mandatory minimum; case remanded for further sentencing
   proceedings.
