United States First Circuit

Conviction and sentence for possession of a handgun by a felon are affirmed over defendant's arguments that: 1) a photo array constructed by police for identification was impermissibly suggestive; 2) the court erred in failing to instruct the jury on self-defense; and 3) his sentence was improperly enhanced.
