Weston v. United States
Petition for certiorari denied on April 2, 2018
Issues: (1) Whether robbery, as defined at common law, has violent force as an element, as the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the 10th and 11th Circuits have held, and as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit have held in this case, or whether the force necessary to commit common law robbery is too slight to qualify as violent force, as the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the 8th, 9th and District of Columbia Circuits have held, and as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit has held in the past; and (2) whether, after Parke v.
Raley, defendants bear a burden to show that the presumption of regularity that attaches to final judgments should be suspended, and, if so, what that burden is.
