U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 09-2805
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and
Benton, Circuit Judge]
Criminal case - Criminal law. District court did not err in admitting
evidence of a prior arrest involving marijuana and a firearm as the
incident was similar in material respects to the current charges, and the
probative value of the evidence outweighed any danger of unfair
prejudice; jury instructions on the firearm offense contained some
incorrect language but there was not a reasonable likelihood that they
misled the jury to convict defendant based on an incorrect standard;
evidence was sufficient to support defendant's conviction for use of a
firearm during and in connection with a drug trafficking offense.
