Criminal Law: Sentencing-Prior Convictions-Robbery

Staff Report//September 17, 2019//

Listen to this article

Where a defendant challenged the application of the Armed Career Criminal Act to his sentence, the Missouri second-degree robbery statute satisfied the force clause of the act, so the district court did not err in classifying the conviction as a violent felony and the sentence is affirmed.

Judgment is affirmed.

U.S. v. Clark (MLW No. 73801/Case No. 18-2119 – 3 pages) (U.S. Court of Appeals, 8th Circuit, per curiam) Appealed from U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Missouri, Ross, J. (Kevin C. Curran, St. Louis, argued for appellant) (Sayler Anne Ault Fleming, St Louis, argued for appellee).
