How courts have described this case

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

holding that making provocative physical contact with a law enforcement officer was not a crime of a violence under residual clause
holding Illinois offense of assault and battery on a law 33 enforcement officer is not categorically a predicate crime of violence under residual clause
explaining that “vehicular flight is inherently more risky than making insulting or provoking contact with an officer,” because such flight involves the “use of a dangerous instrumentality”
noting that using “hedge” words like “but” when referring to counsel would lead a reasonable officer to understand only that suspect might want attorney present
noting that the case law interpreting “crime of violence” in § 4B1.2 of the sentencing guidelines and “violent felony” in the ACCA is interchangeable
holding “ ‘Yeah, I do, but you . . .’ ” in response to law enforcement asking if accused would like a lawyer was ambiguous “because [accused]’s reference to a lawyer used the hedge word ‘but’ ”
