United States v. Lilly, No. 22-1601 (1st Cir. 2023)
Annotate this Case
The First Circuit affirmed Defendant's conviction for possession of firearms by a felon and his thirty-month sentence, holding that Defendant was not entitled to relief on his claims of error.
On appeal, Defendant challenged the procedural reasonableness of his sentence, asserting that the district court relied upon a clearly erroneous finding of fact regarding his use of a firearm on a previous occasion. The First Circuit affirmed, holding that the sentencing court did not clearly err in its factual findings and in crediting the account of a witness of the incident at issue over Defendant's own account.
