United States v. Brian Trotter

COLLOTON, Circuit Judge.

Brian Trotter was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm as a previously convicted felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Trotter pleaded not guilty, and the case proceeded to trial. At the close of the government’s case, Trotter moved for a judgment of acquittal, contending that the government had adduced insufficient evidence of identity and venue. The district court 1 denied the motion, and the jury convicted Trotter. The court sentenced Trotter to 110 months’ imprisonment. Trotter appeals, and we affirm.
