United States v. Williams, No. 21-1493 (1st Cir. 2023)
Annotate this Case
The First Circuit affirmed Defendant's sentence that he received in connection with a robbery committed in Maine, holding that Defendant was not entitled to relief on his allegations of error.
On appeal, Defendant argued, among other things, that the trial court erred in finding that two of his earlier convictions under Massachusetts law and one under Maine law were crimes of violence under the sentencing guidelines. The First Circuit disagreed and affirmed, holding (1) Defendant's Massachusetts conviction for assault with a dangerous weapon qualified as a crime of violence under the guidelines; and (2) Defendant's Maine conviction for robbery with the use of a dangerous weapon was a crime of violence under the guidelines.
