United States Sixth Circuit

District court's acquittal of defendant following a jury conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm by invoking the "corroboration rule" is reversed as substantial independent evidence - that certain specified items were stolen from an individual's house - lends support to defendant's confession that he possessed a gun.
