United States v. Zayac

by
Defendant appealed his conviction for several counts arising from his involvement in the kidnapping, robbery, and murder of a drug dealer. The court concluded that the evidence was sufficient to convict defendant of the charges; the court rejected defendant's claims of evidentiary errors; and defendant was not entitled to a jury instruction on the affirmative defense of duress with respect to the kidnapping and robbery charges. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment of the district court. View "United States v. Zayac" on Justia Law
