• holding that \[t]he courts may consider a defendant's actual conduct in determining whether they have broken the law\
• clarifying that district courts are “not limited to the actual charges or convictions in determining the grade of the violation”
• explaining that any error in sentence due to finding that defendant previously committed a “crime of violence” would be harmless “because the District Court explained that it would have ordered the same sentence even without finding a ‘crime of violence’”
