The arrest warrant that was issued is based on him violating the supervised released terms of his federal sentence. It’s essentially a probation violation/revocation warrant.
If there are additional federal charges coming, they most likely will be related to the gun.
18 USC 922 (g) is a no brainer. He’s a multiple time convicted felon and previously deported illegal.
He had no business even touching a gun or ammunition.
The Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA, 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)) is another federal gun law that requires a 15-year mandatory minimum sentence for anyone who possesses a gun or ammunition and also has three prior convictions for serious drug offenses or violent felonies.
I can’t find enough information about Zarate’s seven prior felony convictions to know if they would qualify.
I understand. My original comments were based on the federal, practice of retrying facts under the guise of a civil truths trial because we don’t get the verdict we want. This guy has been found guilty of possession interested to see the sentence.
