United States v. Berrios-Bonilla, No. 15-1574 (1st Cir. 2016)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of two weapons possession counts and witness tampering. Appealing from a federal district court, Defendant argued that the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions and alleged several procedural errors. The First Circuit affirmed, holding (1) a reasonable jury could have convicted Defendant of both weapons possession offenses and the witness tampering charge; (2) the trial court did not impair Defendant’s right to cross-examination by denying Defendant’s request to introduce alleged impeachment evidence; and (3) there was no reversible error in the district court’s instructions to the jury.
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on May 25, 2016.
