   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-2542
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
[PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Loken and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. The Constitution does not mandate electronic recording of a defendant's custodial interrogation, and admission of his statement does not violate his Fifth Amendment rights; district court duly considered the evidence, defendant's arguments and the 3553(a) factors in imposing and explaining defendant's sentence; district court did not err in finding defendant was a threat to society; no error in applying the first-degree murder cross-reference in the sentencing Guideline for robbery where the court found a bank guard died of complications related to the gun shot wound defendant inflicted during the bank robbery; the imposition of consecutive sentences was not substantively unreasonable under the tragic and calloused circumstances of defendant's crimes.
