United States Second Circuit
US v. Baker, 10-1925
Imposition of the mandatory minimum sentence under the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA) is affirmed, as the defendant's prior two escapes from a correctional facility under Vermont law involved conduct that presents a serious potential risk of physical injury to another, and thus qualified, along with two other prior felony burglary convictions, as violent felony predicates for mandatory minimum sentencing under the ACCA.
