Criminal Law: Sentencing-Armed Career Criminal Act-Wisconsin Burglary Statute

Staff Report//December 2, 2019//

Listen to this article

Where a defendant challenged his enhanced sentence as an armed career criminal based on three prior Wisconsin convictions for burglary, the relevant case is no longer good law, so the convictions do not qualify as violent felonies under the act, and the sentence is vacated and remanded for resentencing.

Vacated: remanded.

U.S. v. Webster (MLW No. 74177/Case No. 17-2758 – 2 pages) (U.S. Court of Appeals, 8th Circuit, per curiam) Appealed from U.S. District Court, Northern District of Iowa.
