• explaining that the government usually “will be able to point to evidence in the record demonstrating that a defendant knew he was convicted [of a felony], preventing the defendant from showing a reasonable probability of a different outcome absent the error”

• vacating jury conviction for defendant who possessed firearm after felony conviction but before sentenc‐ ing
• vacating a pre-Rehaif bench trial conviction under § 922(g)(1) where the appellant possessed a firearm after he had pleaded guilty to Iowa felonies but before he had been sentenced on those felonies, and was therefore able to show plain error
• Rehaif requires only that -2- defendant knew, at the time he possessed firearms, that he had been convicted of a crime punishable by more than one year in prison
• “Under Rehaif, [the defendant] needed to know only that he had been convicted of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year at the time he possessed the firearms.”
