United States v. Manso-Cepeda, No. 14-2068 (1st Cir. 2016)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of aiding and abetting a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. Defendant appealed, arguing that the district court erred in denying his motion for acquittal. Specifically, Defendant contended that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction in light of the advance knowledge requirement articulated in Rosemond v. United States. The First Circuit affirmed, holding (1) the evidence was sufficient to support Defendant’s conviction under Rosemond; and (2) Defendant’s argument that the jury instructions did not sufficiently instruct as to the knowledge requirement under Rosemond was waived for lack of development.
