Cert grant for Miami FPD

The grant in Stokeling v. US involves whether a state robbery offense that includes "overcoming victim resistance" as an element is a "violent felony" under the Armed Career Criminal Act.  Here is the 11th Circuit per curium opinion, with a concurrence by Judge Martin.  Congrats to the Federal Public Defender's Office for getting cert in this case.

    Brenda Bryn is a brilliant appellate lawyer. No one could be better suited to brief and argue this case.

    In a pure meritocracy, Ms. Bryn would be a federal circuit court judge. Luckily for us and her clients, she toils and excels as an appellate attorney on behalf of indigent defendants.
