U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 15-3506
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - Cape Girardeau
[PUBLISHED] [Bright, Author, with Gruender and Kelly, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. Missouri's second-degree robbery statute does
not necessarily require the use of violent force as one of its elements,
and defendant's conviction for second-degree robbery does not qualify as a
crime of violence under Guidelines Sec. 2K2.1(a)(4)(A); the court rejects
the government's argument that the conviction does qualify as a crime of
violence because "robbery" was included in the commentary to Section
4B1.2. Judge Gruender, dissenting.
