First, he argued that the Court erred in applying the ACCA sentencing enhancement because there was insufficient proof that Andrews was convicted of three ACCA-qualifying offenses. United States v. Andrews, 861 Fed. App'x. 113, 115 (8th Cir. 2021). Second, Andrews asserted that his convictions for second- and third-degree assault were not qualifying offenses under the ACCA.
Following a June 2018 indictment, a jury found Mr. Andrews guilty of being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. ยงยง 922(g)(1) and 924(e)(1). See United States v. Andrews, 861 Fed.Appx. 113, 114-15 (8th Cir. 2021), cert. denied, 142 S.Ct. 1134 (2022). (See also Redacted Jury Verdict [Doc. No. 294].)
