153496P.pdf 03/28/2017 United States v. Krystal Wallace
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 15-3496
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Wollman, Circuit Judge, and Wright,
District Judge]
Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. The evidence was sufficient
to support defendant's conviction for assaulting a VA police officer with
her car; no error in excluding a video of a statement defendant made to a
VA investigator shortly after the incident as it was cumulative to her own
testimony at trial; the district court did not err in determining the
degree of the officer's injury; no error in applying Guidelines Sec. 2A2.2
for aggravated assault rather than Guidelines Sec. 2A2.4 for obstructing
an officer; no error in applying a six-level official victim enhancement
under Sec. 3A1.2(c)(1), or a six-level enhancement under Guidelines Sec.
2A2.2(b)(3)(E); 48-month sentence imposed after a 140-month downward
variance was not substantively unreasonable.
