7th Circuit Court of Appeals
United States of America v. David A. Resnick
14-3791
United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Hammond Division. James T. Moody, judge.

Finds admission of Resnick’s refusal to take a polygraph test into evidence does not violate his Fifth Amendment rights, and the evidence was sufficient to uphold his firearm conviction. Judge Baurer dissents.
