Description

A jury convicted Ralph Emeron Taken Alive, II of violating 18 U.S.C. § 111, which makes it unlawful to assault, resist, or impede a federal officer engaged in his official duties. Thereafter, the district court sentenced him to a term of imprisonment. Taken Alive appeals his conviction, arguing that the district court abused its discretion in refusing to admit evidence of the federal police officers character under Fed. R. Evid. 404(a)(2) and 405. Evidence of the police officers character was crucial to Taken Alives self-defense case. The exclusion of that evidence prejudiced Taken Alive and, thus, was not harmless error. We reverse and remand.
