182233P.pdf 02/15/2019 United States v. Ronald White, Jr.
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 18-2233
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Gruender and Wollman, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. For the court's prior opinion in the matter,
see U.S. v. White, 863 F.3d 784 (8th Cir. 2017)(en banc). There was ample
circumstantial evidence for the district court to find defendant
constructively possessed the shotgun in question because he had access to
and control over the duffel bag found in his bedroom closet and had
knowledge of the shotgun because it was found inside the duffel bag,
together with a revolver, which had his DNA on it, and a train ticket in
his name; there was ample circumstantial evidence for the district court
to reasonably infer that defendant knew the shotgun had a bore diameter of
more than one-half inch and thus fell within the ambit of the National
Firearms Act.
