United States v. Garry D. Kern, United States of America v. Troy P. Reeves

MAGILL, Circuit Judge.

Troy B. Reeves (Reeves) and Garry D. Kern (Kern) appeal the judgment entered by the district court 1 following a jury’s finding of guilt on three bank-robbery-related counts. Specifically, Reeves and Kern (the defendants) contend the trial court erred when it admitted evidence of another subsequent robbery, when it refused to grant a new trial after the discovery of new evidence, and when it found as a matter of law that conspiracy to commit bank robbery is a crime of violence. For the reasons addressed below, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
