Douglas v. U.S.

Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 110-month term of incarceration on unlawful possession of firearm charge, after finding that defendant qualified as armed career offender as defined under section 924(e) of Armed Career Criminal Act, based on fact that defendant had three qualifying felony convictions. Dist. Ct. could properly classify defendant’s Indiana Class C felony battery conviction as qualifying “violent felony” under elements clause of section 924(e)(2)(B)(i), where instant Indiana conviction has “serious bodily injury” as element of offense. Ct. rejected defendant’s contention that no state crime can be violent felony unless person intends not only use of force but also intends injury caused by said force.
