United States v. Carthen, No. 16-17653 (11th Cir. 2018)
Annotate this CaseThe Eleventh Circuit affirmed Defendants Carthen and Groce's conviction and sentence for multiple counts of federal robbery and firearm offenses. The court held that the evidence was sufficient to support the jury's guilty verdict; the district court did not plainly err in finding enough evidence of a conspiracy to admit the coconspirator's testimony; the district court did not abuse its discretion by excluding Groce's proposed impeachment evidence relating to the testimony of the alleged coconspirator; the district court did not miscalculate the mandatory minimum sentence; and Groce failed to make a threshold showing of gross disproportionality.
