So in love with the 9th circuit lately. 3 opinions since October 2015 (boom boom pow) holding that certain offenses are not crimes of violence. A fourth, today, adopted a 1st Cir. holding that a robbery, defined as theft accomplished by means of violence, is not, in fact, a crime of violence. Considering use of a gun in furtherance of a crime of violence has a 25 mandatory minimum (and frankly, how else would you find yourself prosecuted for federal robberies without using a gun), this is HUGE. XOXOX Judges Wilken, Reinhardt x2, and Fisher.
