United States v. Torres-Correa, No. 19-1639 (1st Cir. 2022)
Annotate this Case
The First Circuit affirmed Defendant's conviction for interfering with commerce by threats or violence, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1951 and 2 (Hobbs Act robbery); and using, carrying, or possessing a firearm during and in retaliation to a crime of violence, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 924(c)(1)(A)(ii), holding that there was no error.
Specifically, the First Circuit held (1) Defendant's claim that Hobbs Act robbery is not a crime of violence for purposes of section 924(c)(1)(A) was meritless; (2) the trial court did not err by admitting video surveillance footage; and (3) the trial court did not err in excluding impeachment evidence challenging the credibility of the government's cooperating witness.
