United States v. Whitfield, No. 10-5217 (4th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his convictions and sentence for his role in a bank robbery and mid-escape home intrusion, which ended in the death of an elderly woman who died of a heart attack. The court found that only one of defendant's contentions had merit - that the district court erred in instructing the jury on an offense not charged in the indictment. Therefore, the court vacated the conviction and sentence on the uncharged death results offense and remanded for entry of a judgment of conviction on Count Four regarding the forced accompaniment offense and for appropriate resentencing proceedings. The court affirmed the judgment in all other respects.
