USA v. Jeramie J. Mason — 7th Cir. (Nov 9, 2026)
The Seventh Circuit hears Mason's appeal from federal gun and drug convictions arising from a search of a Madison bedroom. Police were investigating a violent incident and went to an address linked to Mason, who was on supervision. In the bedroom, they found a gun and drugs; a laboratory later detected his DNA on the gun and drug packaging. The dispute brings together two questions: what allowed police to enter and search that room, and whether the items they found proved that he possessed them.
