The defendant and his relative are not happy. It is Federal offence and that is 10 yrs, hard time. Now, I did not know that the the US gov has to prove that the firearm crossed to states boundaries for the conviction to be secured.

It's not good to anger a Federal judge.

If she had not slammed and damaged the door, she would not be facing contempt of court and destroying/damaging government property charges.
DUMB MOVE.

Don't mean to hijack but I wonder how many Federal prosecutions there are like this. We need more, but I read all the time about some felon being convicted of a robbery with firearm and only getting time in TDCJ. Any one have any statistics?

You are aware that the feds don't allow parole, aren't you?
I never want to do time, especially hard Federal time.
