Description
Per Curiam: The Supreme Court granted certiorari in this case, vacated our earlier decision affirming Mark Williams' conviction, and remanded for reconsideration in light of Crosby v. United States, 61 U.S.L.W. 4078 (U.S. 1993). In Crosby, the Court held that Fed. R. Crim. P. 43 prohibits the trial in absentia of a defendant who is not present at the beginning of trial. Id. at 4080. Like Crosby, Williams was not present at the beginning of his trial. Therefore, a new trial is warranted.
