View this case - free  

Overview: Even if an inmate, by failing to raise the issue on direct appeal, had not procedurally defaulted a claim that a denial of Criminal Justice Act funds for accounting experts was "court-induced" ineffective assistance of counsel, he was properly denied habeas relief because the shortage of funds was caused by his failure to fund his own defense.

United States v. Counce, No. 05-3562, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT, May 3, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Operation of handgun could be relevant to whether it was designed to expel projectile by action of explosive, as required to be "firearm" under 18 U.S.C.S. § 921(a)(3). Where defendant did not argue missing safety was result of design, evidence of inoperability was properly excluded because evidence would have yielded substantial juror confusion.

View this case - free  

Overview: Revocation of probation was not an abuse of discretion because substantial evidence recovered by law enforcement during a search of defendant's home, including 50 blank identification cards and a license and social security card that were not hers, supported the finding that she possessed equipment for the purpose of committing a future fraud.

United States v. Gardner, No. 05-2638, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT, May 3, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: District court properly admitted statement by defendant's sister that she introduced defendant to friend of drug suppliers. Even if statement was only marginally in furtherance of conspiracy under Fed. R. Evid. 801(d)(2)(E), any error was harmless because other admissible testimony established that friend directly supplied defendant with drugs.
