Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit March 8, 2018, No. 17-1725 (United States v. Teague)

Kanne, Circuit Judge.

Prior convictions for crimes of violence subject a defendant to a higher base offense level under the federal Sentencing Guidelines. Because the district court below erroneously concluded that the offense of second degree murder under Illinois law is not a crime of violence, we reverse.

I. BACKGROUND

Omarr Teague pled guilty to possession of a weapon by a felon.
