United States Ninth Circuit

Reversing a conviction for attempted illegal reentry and remanding for a new trial because the district court provided an incorrect supplemental instruction in response to the jury's request for clarification with the meaning of specific intent to enter free from official restraint because the instruction erroneously focused on whether the defendant was under official restraint and falsely stated that the defendant did not need to be aware of official restraint.
