Sixth Circuit: USA v. George Rafidi

Predicates, Brady, FRCrimP, Sentencing


Given the requirement of use of force, the crime at issue is categorically a violent crime predicate conviction.

Gov't fulfilled Brady obligations with computer modeling information by enclosing a CD of the scan in discovery -- there was no affirmative duty on the gov't to do crime-scene computer modeling.

No plain error in sleeping juror cure.

Sentence not grossly disproportionate.
