United States Supreme Court

Sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm, that was enhanced under the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA) due to defendant's five prior Iowa burglary convictions, the Eighth Circuit's judgment affirming defendant's sentence is reversed where because the elements of Iowa's burglary law are broader than those of generic burglary, defendant's prior convictions cannot give rise to ACCA's sentence enhancement.
