Whether the evidence at trial was sufficient to convict Petitioner
QUESTIONS PRESENTED Whether the Court of Appeals erred in affirming the District Court’s decision to overrule Petitioner’s motion for acquittal when the evidence at trial was insufficient to convict Petitioner of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and discharging a firearm resulting in death during a drug trafficking offense where the evidence at trial demonstrated that Petitioner did not possess or fire a firearm during his brief interaction with the victim. Whether the Court of Appeals erred in ruling that the District Court did not commit error when sentencing Petitioner by applying the sentencing guideline for § 2A1.1 relating to first degree homicide. 1
