Civil Rights
Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
District court's sentence and conviction of defendant for aiding and abetting a carjacking is affirmed in part, reversed in part and remanded where: 1) defendant's conviction is affirmed as, although the district court allegedly committed several errors with respect to jury selection, its handling of evidentiary objections, and its handling of a jury note, these alleged errors were all relatively benign; but 2) because defendant was not afforded his right of allocution, his sentence is vacated and remanded.
