Original Note:
This is an inaccurate description of the actual ruling in the Erlinger case. The Supreme Court held that a unanimous jury, rather than a judge, must decide whether past offenses qualify the defendant for a 15yr sentence for repeat offenders under the Armed Career Criminals Act. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-370_i4dj.pdf
