191562P.pdf   08/26/2021  United States  v.  Robert Hoxworth
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-1562
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Stras, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Colloton, Circuit 
   Judge] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Even if justification can 
   serve as a defense to a charge of being a felon-in-possession of a 
   firearm, the facts here did not support the defense, and the district 
   court did not err in refusing to give a justification instruction to the 
   jury; the government concedes that defendant's Texas conviction for 
   aggravated-assault did not qualify as a violent felony for purposes of the 
   Armed Career Criminal Act, and defendant's 180-month sentence is vacated, 
   and the matter is remanded for resentencing. Judge Colloton, concurring in 
   part.
