United States v. Torres-Colon, No. 14-1563 (1st Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of unlawful possession of a firearm. The district court sentenced Defendant to sixty months’ imprisonment. The First Circuit affirmed, holding (1) the government improperly introduced into evidence as substantive evidence of Defendant’s guilt the stipulated facts from the plea agreement of another individual in the incident that gave rise to Defendant’s conviction, but the error was harmless; (2) the prosecutor made an improper statement during the government’s rebuttal, but it was not sufficiently prejudicial as to constitute plain error; and (3) Defendant’s remaining claims did not warrant relief.
