U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 18-1230
Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Wollman and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Petition for Review - immigration. Petitioner challenges removability
based on whether his convictions under Missouri statute Mo. Rev. Stat.
section 570.120 for passing bad checks were crimes involving moral
turpitude. Applying the modified categorical approach because the statute
is overbroad but nonetheless divisible; the record shows the charging
documents contained language tracking section 570.120.1(1) which included
the element "with the purpose to defraud" and thus petitioner's conviction
for passing a bad check qualifies as a crimes involving moral turpitude.
