Seventh Circuit: Katrell Morris v. USA

Habeas, AEDPA, Attempt, ACCA

Habeas grant for challenge to ACCA residual clause predicate.  Although an unpublished decision of the Circuit has held the crime to be a valid predicate under another clause, it insufficiently considered the state's law of attempt.

Concur: Attempt as predicate should only require the attempt at an act that would itself satisfy all the elements.
