Description

Appellant Harvey Edward West was convicted by a jury of committing first-degree murder in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1111, 1151, and 1153.*fn1 He appeals from his conviction, alleging that the conviction was not supported by sufficient evidence and that the district court erred when it denied his request for a short continuance so that he could produce a defense witness. While we hold that the evidence was sufficient, we conclude that the district court abused its discretion in denying West's request for a continuance. Accordingly, we reverse the conviction and remand for a new trial.
