United States Eleventh Circuit
US v. Spears, 04-13297
Sentence for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, with an enhancement under the ACCA for three priors is affirmed over improper enhancement claims that: 1) two prior robberies were actually one robbery; 2) one robbery does not count for ACCA enhancement because adjudication was withheld initially; 3) defendant was a juvenile when he committed this robbery; and 4) under Apprendi, jury should have determined whether convictions were for separate offenses.
