U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 15-1139
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Murphy and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Evidence was sufficient to
support defendant's conviction for aiding and abetting embezzlement from
an agency receiving federal funds; once the government carried its burden
of establishing a conviction for purposes of calculating criminal history,
the burden shifts to defendant to show that the conviction was not
constitutionally valid; defendant did not present any evidence in support
of his challenge to counting the misdemeanor conviction, and the court did
not err in including the conviction in its criminal history calculation.
