181477P.pdf   05/30/2019  United States  v.  Terreall McDaniel
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-1477
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Stras, Circuit 
   Judge] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. In a bench trial, the 
   district court did not abuse its discretion in admitting testimony from an 
   experienced police officer on tools of the trade in drug dealing without 
   conducting a Daubert hearing; evidence was sufficient to support the 
   defendant's convictions on possession of firearms in furtherance of a 
   drug-trafficking schemes; no error in sentencing defendant as an armed 
   career criminal based on his three convictions for selling cocaine in 
   violation of Section 195.211 RSMo, as the record showed there were three 
   separate violations on three separate occasions; sale of controlled 
   substance in violation of this Missouri statute is a controlled substance 
   violation for sentencing under the ACCA; claim that this sentence violates 
   the Eighth Amendment is rejected. Judge Stras, concurring.
