United States v. Libby

by
The Eighth Circuit affirmed defendant's sentence under the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA), 18 U.S.C. 924(e), holding that defendant's previous conviction for Minnesota first degree robbery was a violent felony and a predicate offense under the ACCA. The court reasoned that Minnesota's express requirement that a defendant communicate a threat to overcome resistance or to compel acquiescence necessarily implicated the use of violent force.
