United States Eighth Circuit

Defendant's conviction and sentence for aiding and abetting burglary of a building used in part as a bank are affirmed where: 1) the unambiguous language of 18 U.S.C. section 2113(a) applied to a defendant who took federally insured deposits from a bank-owned and operated ATM located within a store; 2) the district court did not abuse its discretion by excluding evidence about the bank's FDIC insurance; and 3) defendant's earlier burglary conviction was a crime of violence.
