141171P.pdf 07/29/2015 United States v. Jamie Jones
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-1171
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Wollman and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. While an on-the-record inquiry into
defendant's pre-trial motion for appointment of counsel would have aided
review, the magistrate judge did not err in denying the motion without an
inquiry as the motion described defendant's complaints in detail and did
not provide a basis for removing counsel and appointing a new lawyer;
Speedy Trial Act claim based on defendant's attorney's requests for
continuances was waived because defendant failed to assert his Speedy
Trial Act rights before trial; video of search contained relevant evidence
and the fact that it depicted possible other criminal activity did not
prejudice defendant in light of the court's directions to the jury and the
strength of the government's case in this felon-in-possession prosecution.
