Dean v. United States, 129 S.Ct. 1849 (Apr. 29, 2009) (unintentional or accidental discharge of firearm during violent or drug-trafficking offense is sufficient to warrant 10-year mandatory minimum sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 924(c)(1)(A)(iii)).



Therefore, this enhancement does not convert the substantive offense into an aggravated felony crime of violence because the intent required for this sentence enhancement is insufficient under Leocal to constitute a crime of violence.

US Supreme Ct
