161306P.pdf   03/27/2017  United States  v.  Gilberto Ramos
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-1306
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Fayetteville   
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Wollman and Arnold and Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. There was sufficient evidence on the drug charges in the case, but the evidence was insufficient to support defendant's conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm as a reasonable jury could not conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that defendant had constructive possession of the weapon; the district court erred in admitting an Arkansas Parole Board Waiver of Revocation Form as any probative value the form might have had was outweighed by the risk of unfair prejudice to defendant; however, the error was harmless with respect to defendant's conviction on the drug charges in light of the evidence of his guilt; the court would not reach defendant's arguments regarding the reasonableness of his sentence in light of the reversal of his felon-in-possession conviction. Judge Arnold, concurring. Judge Wollman, concurring in part and dissenting in part.
