Federal 7th Circuit Court
Criminal Court
Sentencing
In prosecution on charge of felon in possession of firearm, Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 64-month term of incarceration based in part on finding that defendant's prior Indiana battery conviction constituted crime of violence under section 4B1.2(a) of USSG. Indiana battery offense, which prohibited touching someone in rude, insolent or angry manner by means of deadly weapon, was conduct that ordinarily involved threatened use of physical force.
