United States Eighth Circuit


US v. Wisecarver, 09-1954

Defendant's conviction for depredation of government property is reversed where a supplemental instruction given by the district court was plainly erroneous, because it misstated the law by instructing the jury to find defendant guilty if it found he used justifiable force to defend himself or his property.
