   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-1699
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Ft. Smith   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Gruender and Benton, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law and Sentencing. In case alleging deprivation 
   of constitutional rights through the use of excessive force, the jury was 
   informed as to why one of the victims was shackled in a shower room, 
   thereby contextualizing the housing and shackling issues for the jury, and 
   any error in limiting defendant's questioning on the issue was harmless; 
   any error in admitting the jail's use-of-force and inmate-rights policies 
   was harmless as there was sufficient other evidence to show the 
   defendant's use of force was willful; the jury instructions properly 
   defined the bodily injury element in 18 U.S.C. Sec. 242; the evidence was 
   sufficient to support defendant's convictions; no error in applying an 
   obstruction-of-justice enhancement under Guidelines Sec. 3C1.1 where 
   defendant attempted to influence a co-worker's testimony about one of the 
   incidents; the within-guidelines sentence was substantively reasonable.
