United States v. Joyner, No. 17-10289 (11th Cir. 2018)
Annotate this CaseDefendants Joyner and Sturgis appealed their convictions and sentences for multiple counts of Hobbs Act robbery and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence. The Eleventh Circuit held that the district court did not reversibly err by declining to repeat a jury instruction when it provided the indictment to the jury; the district court's denial of motions to suppress cell site data did not warrant reversal; the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Joyner's motions for new counsel; the district court did not err in rejecting Joyner's Bruton argument; but, as conceded by the government, Joyner should be resentenced under a correct offense level and guidelines range. Accordingly, the court remanded Joyner's case for resentencing and affirmed in all other respects.
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on May 17, 2021.
