BOUDIN, Chief Judge.
After a nine-day trial, a federal jury convicted Leo Felton and Erica Chase of a number of offenses centering around a bank robbery, counterfeiting, and the planned construction of an explosive device. The district court then directed a judgment of acquittal for both defendants on one of these eounts-possessing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. The defendants now appeal from their convictions (and Felton from his sentence as well); the United States cross-appeals from the judgment of acquittal ordered by the district court.
