Williams v. United States

RUIZ, Senior Judge:

Antonio Williams appeals his convictions of first-degree theft,1 destruction of property,2 contempt,3 and obstruction of justice4 in connection with several incidents of domestic violence. On appeal, he argues (1) that the evidence was insufficient to support the conviction for contempt, (2) that the court improperly instructed the jury on the intent element of contempt, (3) that the court erred in failing to give a unanimity instruction on the charges of contempt and obstruction of justice, and (4) that a portion of the jury selection violated his right to a public trial.…
