   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-1516
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Stras, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Argument that the jury did not represent a fair cross-section of the community rejected as defendant did not make a prima facie showing of systematic exclusion; challenge to jury instructions on reasonable doubt rejected; the court did not err in rejecting defendant's proposed instruction on burden of proof; defendant's Rehaif claim rejected as there was ample evidence that defendant, who had served twenty-two years in prison for murder and other felonies, was aware of his status as a person convicted of an offense punishable by more than a year in prison, and any Rehaif error was not plain and did not warrant relief; the district court did not err in giving a supplemental instruction defining trafficking in response to a jury question; convictions for possession of firearms in furtherance of a drug trafficking and for possession of a firearm by a felon were supported by sufficient evidence; no error in applying a two-level enhancement under Guidelines Sec. 2D1.1(b)(12) for maintaining a drug premises; sentence was not substantively unreasonable.
