It’s a relatively slow week in the federal circuits.
My favorite case of the last week is United States v. Torres Pimental. You’ve got to love a suppression motion being granted off of a government delay in presentment.
To the victories!
There’s been a lot of action in the federal circuits these first few weeks of the year, and here, in one post we have a lot of it.
One shout out in particular is U.S. v. Aparicio-Soria. The Fourth Circuit weighs in on resisting arrest. Is it always a crime of violence? Surely not, but, well, it takes a while for things to get to that point.
Congratulations Sapna Mirchandani for a nice win!
