Sixth Circuit: United States v. Malik Farrad

Sufficient evidence for the finder of fact to have determined that the gentleman in the Facebook photos with the gun was the deft.

Social media photos are not self-authenticating business records, but there is no need for the identity of the page to be established -- the identity of the subject of the photo is a matter for the finder of fact, and are admissible so long as there is sufficient evidence that they are what they appear to be.

Shaky qualifications for expert testimony on Facebook photo-posting habits of suspects ultimately harmless.

Predicate offenses properly counted for sentencing where each is defined as happening on or about a certain day, despite being connected by a common conspiracy.

No plain error in counting convictions in absentia as predicate convictions.

Sentence increase due to predicate offenses didn't need to be separately charged.

Warrant not defective when it identifies the Facebook data as present in the jurisdiction.

Year and a half delay after service of warrant on FB didn't invalidate the warrant.

Execution of warrant outside of district not plain error, cf. 2703(A).
