U.S. v. Hecke

Defendant was found guilty of multiple drug and firearm offenses and was sentenced to life in prison. On appeal, defendant argued that the district court erred when it denied his request for a Franks hearing, that the district court improperly permitted the government to constructively amend the indictment by presenting evidence beyond the scope of his firearm possession charge, and that the district court erred by applying three enhancements to his sentence. The Seventh Circuit found no errors and affirmed. (ST. EVE and LEE, concurring)
