Federal 7th Circuit Court
Civil Court
Reasonable Doubt
Record contained sufficient evidence to support jury’s guilty verdict on charge of possession of firearm in furtherance of drug-trafficking crime under 18 USC section 924(c) where evidence showed that: (1) defendant kept loaded .40 caliber Sig Sauer semi-automatic pistol just few feet from his front door; and (2) defendant built and ran out of home marijuana grow operation valued in thousands of dollars. Ct. further rejected defendant’s claim that section 924(c) was unconstitutionally vague.
