United States v. Robinson, No. 15-4741 (4th Cir. 2017)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his conviction for various offenses related to the crime of carjacking. The court concluded that there was sufficient evidence to convict defendant of carjacking where he grabbed the victim's car keys while holding a loaded gun and after threatening her life. Therefore, there was plenty of evidence of intent to cause serious harm when he took control of the car. The court also concluded that the indictment was not duplicitous because it charged defendant with one count for violating 18 U.S.C. 922(g) both with the actual possession of the handgun he was carrying and with the constructive possession of the shotgun that a codefendant was carrying. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
