Question Presented (from Petition)
1. In Prince v. United States, 352 U.S. 322 (1957), this Court construed the first and second paragraphs of 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a)—bank robbery and entry into a bank with intent to commit a crime—as a single offense punishable by twenty years in prison. The Fifth Circuit has nonetheless held that the two paragraphs define separate and divisible crimes.
Does 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a) define a single offense or two (or more) separate and divisible offenses?
2. Is attempted bank robbery under 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a) a "crime of violence" as defined in § 924(c)(3)(A)?
Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a) defines a single offense or two (or more) separate and divisible offenses
