How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that an array was not suggestive where several witnesses described the defendant as having blue eyes and the defendant was the only person in the photo array with noticeably blue eyes
  • finding sufficient evidence of intent for carjacking where defendant pointed gun at victim and yelled “You think I’m playing?!”
  • granting a “limited remand” “for the ‘limited purpose’ of recalculating the defendant’s sentence” after re-ordering the defendant’s various § 924(c) convictions and applying the rule of lenity
  • ʺBecause we conclude that § 924(c)(1)(C) is ambiguous as to how convictions should be ordered for sentencing when a defendant is convicted on multiple counts of carjacking that arise from the same indictment and proceedings, we are bound by [the principle of lenity].ʺ
