161304P.pdf 11/17/2016 United States v. Richard McFee
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-1304
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul
[PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Benton and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. Minnesota's terroristic threats statute's
definition of "crime of violence" is not divisible and since it's
definition of "crime of violence" is broader than the Armed Career
Criminal Act's requirement that a prior conviction have "as an element the
use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against the person
of another," defendant's conviction for terroristic threats was not an
ACCA predicate offense, and he does not qualify as an armed career
criminal because, without this conviction, he had only two prior predicate
convictions; sentence vacated, and the matter remanded for resentencing.
