182017P.pdf   08/20/2019  United States  v.  Rico Gilliam
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-2017
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Kelly and Kobes, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. The district court did not 
   err in denying defendant's motion to merge two counts for possession of a 
   firearm as the evidence showed he possessed the gun on two different 
   occasions and his possession of the gun between the two dates was not 
   continuous; where no hearsay exception applied to a statement, the 
   district court did not abuse its discretion by declining to tell the jury 
   to disregard the statement; a fourth point could be properly added under 
   Guidelines Sec. 4A1.1(e); defendant's Missouri second-degree robbery 
   conviction is a crime of violence.
