United States Eighth Circuit

A conviction and sentence on charges of unlawful possession of a firearm and possession of stolen firearms are affirmed over claims that the district court erred by denying his motion to suppress statements, stating to the venire that an indictment is based on probable cause, denying a motion for judgment of acquittal, refusing to instruct the jury on a defense of coercion, and enhancing his sentence.
