How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that only a de minimis effect on interstate commerce need be proven to satisfy the jurisdictional element of the Hobbs Act
• holding that evidence of robberies and attempted robberies of businesses involved in interstate commerce was sufficient to show that the robberies “affected or had the potential to affect interstate commerce”
• finding that, even if the out-of-court identification was impermissibly suggestive, corroborating evidence of the defendant’s commission of the crime rendered admission of the testimony harmless error.
