United States v. Jackson, No. 22-1100 (1st Cir. 2023)
Annotate this Case
The First Circuit affirmed Defendant's two convictions for possessing a firearm as a prohibited person, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(1) and 18 U.S.C. 924(a)(2), holding that sufficient evidence supported the convictions and that no governmental misconduct occurred during the grand jury proceedings.
After a trial, the jury returned a guilty verdict on both counts against Defendant, and the district court sentenced him to sixty-six months' imprisonment, to be followed by three years of supervised release. The First Circuit affirmed, holding (1) the government presented sufficient competent evidence to prove the material elements of the charges brought against Defendant; (2) the district court did not err by not striking certain testimony; and (3) the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Defendant's motion to dismiss the superseding indictment on the ground that the government committed misconduct during the grand jury proceedings to obtain it.
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on January 31, 2023.
