Supreme Court of the United States

Eddie Lee Shular v. United States

February 26, 2020140 S. Ct. 779

Summary

The Court affirmed the Eleventh Circuit, holding that the ACCA’s “serious drug offense” definition requires only that a state offense involve the conduct of manufacturing, distributing, or possessing with intent to manufacture or distribute a controlled substance, not a comparison to a generic offense, and that the rule of lenity does not apply because the statute is not ambiguous.
