(United States Fourth Circuit) - Affirmed. In this defamation action, plaintiff appealed from a judgment against her. Defendant, a television news agency, ran a news story about a county in Virginia hiring a plaintiff, a convicted felon and implying that she lied on her job application. Although plaintiff had a prior conviction she disclosed that on her application and was hired anyway. Plaintiff sued the news organization. The trial court ruled that plaintiff was a public figure and as such she would need to prove actual malice. The trial court granted defendants motion for directed verdict, concluding that plaintiff had failed to show actual malice. The appellate court agreed and affirmed the judgment.

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Reversed and remanded. Defendant received a mandatory sentence enhancement under the Armed Career Criminal Act based on three prior convictions. One of those convictions no longer qualifies as an ACCA predicate. The Fourth Circuit held that defendant’s sentence is unlawful in spite of the government’s argument that they could substitute another crime.
