United States v. Overstreet, No. 11-16031 (11th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseDefendant pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm while being a convicted felon and subsequently appealed his 420-month sentence. Defendant's sentence resulted not only from his criminal history, which included two different attempted murder convictions, but also from the district court's finding that he subsequently murdered his wife while absconding from his state parole supervision. The court held that the district court committed no constitutional error in sentencing defendant as an armed career criminal under 18 U.S.C. 924(e)(1) and the district court did not abuse its discretion in weighing the 18 U.S.C. 3553(a) factors and imposing an above-guideline sentence. Accordingly, the court affirmed the sentence.
