7th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: United States of America v. Gary Tinsley

Case No.: 22-1417

Officials: Flaum, Kirsch, and Jackson-Akiwumi, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Sufficiency of Evidence-Sentencing Guidelines

A jury convicted Tinsley of armed bank robbery, drug possession with intent to distribute, and multiple gun-related crimes. He challenges these convictions on several bases, including the trial judge’s evidentiary decisions, the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the jury’s verdicts, and the trial judge’s calculation of his sentence under the Sentencing Guidelines. According to the Seventh Circuit, the district court’s Guidelines calculation did not amount to inappropriate double counting. The district court did not err in any respect and there was sufficient evidence to convict Tinsley

Affirmed.
