UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. CLINTON LEE RUMLEY
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, Niemeyer, March 13, 2020
A crime can qualify as a “violent felony” under the ACCA even where it involves withholding necessary medicine or starvation
Holding VA’s unlawful wounding statute constitutes crime of violence under the ACCA.
From the case: “… there is just as much a ‘use of force’ when a murderous parent uses the body’s need for food to intentionally cause his child’s death as when that parent uses the forceful physical properties of poison to achieve the same result.”
