Case Summary

Willis Maxi appealed his federal convictions and sentence, challenging the district court’s rulings concerning the trial and sentencing proceedings. The Eleventh Circuit reviewed the preserved and unpreserved issues under the applicable standards and upheld the challenged convictions and the district court’s principal rulings. The court’s analysis addressed the evidentiary record, the governing criminal-procedure standards, and the sentencing arguments raised on appeal. After considering the complete record, the court concluded that no reversible error required disturbing the judgment. It therefore affirmed the district court’s decision and left the convictions and sentence in place.
