APPEARING FOR APPELLEE: NEGAR TEKEEI, Assistant United States 

Attorney (Amy Lester, Michael Ferrara, 

Assistant United States Attorneys, on the brief), 

for Preet Bharara, United States Attorney for 

the Southern District of New York, New York, 

New York. 

Appeal from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Southern 

District of New York (Lorna G. Schofield, Judge). 

UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, 

AND DECREED that the judgment entered on December 21, 2015, is AFFIRMED. 

Defendant Antoine Chambers stands convicted after a jury trial of conspiratorial 

and substantive Hobbs Act robbery, see 18 U.S.C. § 1951, and kidnapping, see 18 U.S.C. 

§ 1201, for which crimes he is serving a 20-year term of incarceration. On appeal, 

Chambers challenges, both individually and cumulatively: (1) the sufficiency of the 

evidence supporting his conviction; (2) the admission of identification testimony at trial; 

(3) the government’s failure to make disclosures required by Brady v. Maryland, 373 

U.S. 83 (1963); (4) the admission of cell-site location evidence; and (5) the 

constitutionality of the federal kidnapping statute. We assume the parties’ familiarity 

with the facts and record of prior proceedings, which we reference only as necessary to 

explain our decision to affirm. 

1. Sufficiency of the Evidence 

 Although we review a sufficiency challenge de novo, Chambers bears “a very 

heavy burden,” United States v. Abu-Jihaad, 630 F.3d 102, 135 (2d Cir. 2010) (internal 

quotation marks omitted), because we must view the evidence as a whole and in the light 
3 

most favorable to the jury’s verdict, and we must affirm if “any rational trier of fact could 

have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt,” Jackson v. 

Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 319 (1979) (emphasis in original); accord United States v. 

Binday, 804 F.3d 558, 572 (2d Cir. 2015). In doing so, we recognize that a jury may base 

its verdict on “inferences drawn from circumstantial evidence,” United States v. Persico, 

645 F.3d 85, 104 (2d Cir. 2011) (internal quotation marks omitted), and that we must 

defer to its assessment of witness credibility and its resolution of conflicting testimony, 

see United States v. Triumph Capital Grp., Inc., 544 F.3d 149, 159 (2d Cir. 2008). 

 Chambers argues that no rational factfinder could have found him guilty beyond a 

reasonable doubt of the charged crimes after, at trial, (a) robbery and kidnapping victim 

Emma Torruella recanted on redirect examination her identification of Chambers on 

direct examination; and (b) the district court struck pre-trial and trial identifications by 

Torruella’s daughter, Demi Torres. We conclude otherwise. 

When we view the record in the light most favorable to the jury’s verdict, we must 

assume that the jury found Torruella’s trial identification of defendant (and her 

unrecanted pre-trial identification) credible and rejected her subsequent recantation. The 

jury was uniquely situated to assess Torruella’s credibility in light of her highly 

emotional state—which is evident even on the cold record—and to credit parts of her 

testimony while rejecting others. See United States v. Mergen, 764 F.3d 199, 204 (2d 

Cir. 2014) (deferring to jury assessment of witness credibility); United States v. 

Sabhnani, 599 F.3d 215, 235 (2d Cir. 2010) (stating that jury can assess credibility based 

on witness demeanor); United States v. Messina, 806 F.3d 55, 64 (2d Cir. 2015) (stating 
4 

that factfinder can accept some portions of witness’s testimony and reject others); see 

also Webb v. United States, 789 F.3d 647, 660 (6th Cir. 2015) (stating that, when witness 

makes contradictory statements, including recantations, factfinder can determine 

“whether one statement is more truthful than the other”). 

In any event, Torruella’s identification was not the only evidence supporting the 

jury’s verdict. Considerable circumstantial evidence also demonstrated Chambers’s guilt. 

For example, shortly before the charged crimes were initiated at the home of coconspirator Tyrone Brown, Brown was in frequent cellphone communication with a 

number entered in his cellphone as belonging to “Twizie.” Cell-site records located the 

Twizie phone in the vicinity of Brown’s home at this time. Chambers’s identity as 

“Twizzie” was established through the testimony of a schoolmate who knew him by that 

nickname, and by Chambers himself, who admitted to police that he had used another 

phone number, also listed under “Twizie” in Brown’s cellphone contacts, to place an 

unrelated earlier call. Cellphone records showed that, shortly after police contacted 

Brown about the crimes at issue, Brown called the Twizie cellphone, after which that 

cellphone’s sites changed from the Bronx to New Jersey to Pennsylvania.

Other evidence indicated that the partial license plate number that Torruella 

recalled for the car in which she was kidnapped was registered to Chambers’s girlfriend. 

Moreover, some months later, when that car was impounded following a traffic stop, it 

was found to contain a hammer, which David Barea, Torruella’s drug-dealing boyfriend, 

testified he believed was used to beat him throughout the robbery and kidnapping. 
5 

Finally, when Chambers was arrested in New Jersey, driving a rental car not registered to 

him, he provided false identification. 

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the guilty verdict, a reasonable 

juror could have found, as the district court observed, “that [Chambers] is Twizzie; that 

he (and not merely his phone) went to Brown’s apartment the night of the robbery; that 

the robbers used the dark-colored, four-door sedan that belonged to [Chambers’s] 

girlfriend, with license plate number ending in 7788, precisely the numbers provided by 

one of the victims; that [Chambers] beat Barea with the hammer found in his girlfriend’s 

car; that Brown informed [Chambers] of the police investigation the day after the robbery 

causing him to flee New York for Pennsylvania; and that [Chambers’s] arrest in New 

Jersey near the Pennsylvania border two months later and his false statements post-arrest 

constituted evidence of flight and consciousness of guilt.” J.A. 1024. 

In sum, because a reasonable jury could have found from the totality of this 

evidence that Chambers was guilty of the charged crimes, his sufficiency challenge fails 

on the merits. 

2. Eyewitness Identifications 

 Chambers argues that the district court erred in admitting Torruella’s and Torres’s 

pre-trial and trial identifications without holding a hearing as to their reliability. 

Due process precludes the admission of identification evidence prompted by 

suggestive government procedures giving rise to “a very substantial likelihood of 

irreparable misidentification.” Perry v. New Hampshire, 565 U.S. 228, 232 (2012) 

(internal quotation marks omitted). “Short of that point,” however, identification 
6 

testimony is “for the jury to weigh,” even if marked by “some element of 

untrustworthiness.” Manson v. Brathwaite, 432 U.S. 98, 116 (1977). Indeed, 

identification evidence following unduly suggestive procedures may still be admitted if 

the district court determines that the identification was independently reliable, an 

assessment informed by five factors: (1) the witness’s opportunity to view the 

perpetrator at the time of the crime, (2) the witness’s degree of attention, (3) the accuracy 

of the witness’s prior description of the perpetrator, (4) the level of witness certainty at 

the time of identification, and (5) the time between the crime and the confrontation 

producing identification. See id. at 114 (citing Neil v. Biggers, 409 U.S. 188, 199–200 

(1972)). 

Whether a pre-trial hearing is necessary to assess the reliability of witness 

identification is a matter committed to the sound discretion of the district court, which we 

will not upset except for abuse. See United States v. Finley, 245 F.3d 199, 203 (2d Cir. 

2001). We review the district court’s factual findings relating to identification evidence 

only for clear error. See id. With the benefit of hindsight, it appears that the district court 

would have been well advised to conduct a pre-trial hearing in this case. Nevertheless, 

when we consider the facts known to the district court at the time it made its decision, we 

identify neither abuse of discretion nor clear error here. 

 a. Identification by Torres 

 Insofar as Chambers challenges the district court’s admission of Torres’s 

identifications, and particularly its doing so without a pre-trial hearing, we need not 

decide whether there was error because it was rendered harmless in any event by the 
7 

district court’s decision to strike all evidence of Torres’s identifications when her trial 

testimony revealed previously undisclosed potentially suggestive procedures. See Wray 

v. Johnson, 202 F.3d 515, 525 (2d Cir. 2000) (holding that erroneous admission of 

unreliable identification testimony does not warrant relief from conviction if error is 

harmless). In doing so, the district court specifically and repeatedly charged the jury that 

Torres’s identification testimony must be disregarded in its deliberations. Neither party 

objected to the instruction nor maintained that it was inadequate. We presume that juries 

follow limiting instructions unless there is an overwhelming probability that the jury will 

be unable to do so, and the evidence is devastating to the defense. See, e.g., United States 

v. Becker, 502 F.3d 122, 130–31 (2d Cir. 2007). These concerns are not evident here 

where defense counsel’s skillful cross-examination of Torres made clear why her 

identifications were unreliable in light of suggestive procedures (thereby avoiding jury 

speculation as to the reason for the district court’s decision to strike); the district court 

carefully redacted Torres’s testimony before responding to a jury request and reiterated 

its instruction to disregard the stricken identification evidence; and other evidence, 

already discussed, convincingly linked Chambers to the crimes charged. 

 b. Identification by Torruella 

 Chambers also faults the district court for admitting Torruella’s identifications 

without a reliability hearing because (1) he was the only person depicted in both photo 

arrays shown to her, albeit in different pictures; and (2) Detective Deloren instructed 

Torruella, in looking at the second photo array from which she identified Chambers, to 
8 

“forget about the teardrop” tattoo she remembered on the robber’s face. Appellant’s Br. 

56. 

As to the first argument, this court has ruled that inclusion of a suspect’s picture 

“in a second [photo] array after a witness ha[d] failed to select anyone [including the 

suspect] from the first” does not “automatically make the second array unduly 

suggestive.” United States v. Concepcion, 983 F.2d 369, 379 (2d Cir. 1992); accord 

McKinnon v. Superintendent, 422 F. App’x 69, 74–75 (2d Cir. 2011). This case is not to 

the contrary, particularly as two different pictures of Chambers were used and the arrays 

were not composed to highlight either. 

As to the second argument, Chambers fails to indicate how Detective Deloren’s 

comment rendered the identification procedure suggestive. The record is ambiguous as 

to whether the challenged comment came before or after Torruella had made a tentative 

initial identification. If made after Torruella had picked out Chambers’s photo, the 

concern would be bolstering. If made before the picture selection, the comment, at most, 

may have encouraged an identification from the second photo array, but it would not 

have focused particular attention on Chambers. In either case, the comment did not 

create “a very substantial likelihood of irreparable misidentification” by a witness who 

had had ample opportunity to view Chambers after he removed his mask and whose 

attention was evident from her ability to recall a partial license plate number. Perry v. 

New Hampshire, 565 U.S. at 232 (internal quotation marks omitted); see Raheem v. 

Kelly, 257 F.3d 122, 134 (2d Cir. 2001) (observing that suggestiveness finding depends 

on “whether procedure was ‘so . . . conducive to irreparable mistaken identification that 
9 

[defendant] was denied due process of law’” (quoting Stovall v. Denno, 388 U.S. 293, 

301–02 (1967))). 

On this record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in 

first deciding that it could rule on the admissibility of Torruella’s identification evidence 

without a pre-trial evidentiary hearing. Nor can we identify error in the district court’s 

determination that the record weighed in favor of admitting Torruella’s identifications. 

The fact that Torruella, after making an identification on direct examination, recanted on 

redirect was a matter for the jury to weigh. 

Accordingly, Chambers’s challenges to identification testimony present no error 

warranting relief from judgment. 

3. Brady Challenge 

 A defendant arguing Brady error must show (1) the existence of exculpatory or 

impeachment evidence favorable to the defense, (2) the government’s suppression of 

such evidence, and (3) ensuing prejudice. See Strickler v. Greene, 527 U.S. 263, 281–82 

(1999); accord United States v. Madori, 419 F.3d 159, 169 (2d Cir. 2005). A defendant 

cannot carry his second-step burden where the prosecution discloses the information at 

issue “in sufficient time to afford the defense an opportunity for use.” Leka v. Portuondo, 

257 F.3d 89, 103 (2d Cir. 2001). To carry the third-step burden, a defendant must show 

that the evidence was material, i.e., that “there is a reasonable probability that, had [it] 

been disclosed to the defense, the result of the proceeding would have been different,” 

which itself occurs where the failure to disclose “undermines confidence in the outcome 

of the trial.” United States v. Spinelli, 551 F.3d 159, 164–65 (2d Cir. 2008) (quoting 
10 

Kyles v. Whitley, 514 U.S. 419, 433–34 (1995)). To meet its Brady obligations, the 

prosecution is obligated to “‘learn of any favorable evidence known to the others acting 

on the government’s behalf in the case, including the police,’” and is thus “presumed . . . 

to have knowledge of all information gathered in connection with [the] office’s 

investigation of the case.” United States v. Avellino, 136 F.3d 249, 255 (2d Cir. 1998) 

(quoting Kyles v. Whitley, 514 U.S. at 437). 

 Applying these principles here, we identify no Brady concern as to interview notes 

revealing that, after Detective Deloren showed Torres a newspaper photograph of 

Chambers, she conducted a Google search of his name. Those notes were concededly 

provided to Chambers pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3500 and cannot be deemed “suppressed” 

because Chambers was able to move to exclude Torres’s identification testimony prior to 

trial based on the notes. Indeed, defense counsel even referenced the Google search in 

his opening statement. 

 Chambers next points to a thumbnail-sized photograph of himself, also produced 

in the prosecution’s § 3500 disclosure. Chambers surmises that this is one of the single 

photos shown to Torres on multiple occasions by Deloren, the revelation of which 

procedure at trial prompted the district court to strike Torres’s identification testimony. 

Assuming the truth of this surmise, this evidence was clearly within the detective’s 

knowledge and, therefore, imputed to the prosecution. See United States v. Stewart, 433 

F.3d 273, 298 (2d Cir. 2006). 

Nevertheless, any failure of pre-trial disclosure regarding use of the photo affords 

Chambers no relief from judgment because he cannot show prejudice in light of the 
11 

action taken by the district court. By striking Torres’s identification evidence in its 

entirety and repeatedly instructing the jury to disregard such evidence in its deliberations, 

the district court satisfactorily ensured that the outcome of the proceeding was not 

affected by that evidence or by undisclosed procedures used in connection with those 

identifications. In these circumstances, the alleged Brady violation does not undermine 

confidence in the outcome of the trial. 

 In urging otherwise, Chambers argues that the prosecution here violated its 

“fundamental duty to ensure that testimony elicited from government witnesses is true.” 

Appellant’s Br. 74. We do not understand Chambers to be charging the prosecution with 

knowingly proffering false or misleading testimony in this case. Rather, we understand 

him to be arguing prosecutorial negligence in failing to elicit from its witnesses prior to 

trial facts casting doubt on the reliability of Torres’s identifications. To be sure, the 

prosecution is obliged diligently to ascertain the circumstances attending pre-trial 

identifications. But whether or not there was diligence here, the district court’s striking 

of Torres’s identifications and its instructions to disregard that evidence adequately 

safeguarded against prejudice. 

Accordingly, we reject Chambers’s Brady claim on the merits. 

4. Cell-Site Location Information Challenge 

 Chambers argues that cell-site location information for the Twizie cellphone, 

obtained pursuant to the Stored Communications Act (“SCA”), see 18 U.S.C. § 2703(c), 

should have been suppressed because the government’s authorization application failed to 

satisfy the statute’s “specific and articulable” facts standard, id. § 2703(d), and because 
12 

the SCA, to the extent it authorizes disclosure on less than probable cause, violates the 

Fourth Amendment. Both arguments fail on the merits and, thus, we need not decide 

whether Chambers demonstrated a reasonable expectation of privacy in the Twizie 

cellphone, whether a suppression remedy is available under the SCA, or whether the 

third-party disclosure or good-faith doctrines apply here.

 To secure a § 2703(c)(1) disclosure order, the government must offer “specific and 

articulable facts showing that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the contents of 

a wire or electronic communication, or the records or other information sought, are 

relevant and material to an ongoing criminal investigation.” 18 U.S.C. § 2703(d); see

United States v. Bayless, 201 F.3d 116, 132–33 (2d Cir. 2000) (recognizing that “specific 

and articulable” showing is lower than probable cause standard required for search 

warrant). The government convincingly carried its specific-and-articulable-facts burden 

by stating that (1) it was then investigating Chambers’s possible involvement in a Hobbs 

Act robbery occurring on March 25, 2013, in an apartment at 1338 Croes Avenue in the 

Bronx; (2) a consent search of another suspect’s cellphone (identified at trial as Brown) 

revealed two phone numbers associated with the name “Twizie”; (3) “the only calls of 

duration made or received by” the suspect (Brown) on the night of the robbery were to 

one of the Twizie cellphones; (4) the other Twizie phone had been used some time earlier 

to make a 911 call by a man who provided the name “Antoine” and who placed the call 

from 4782 Barnes Avenue in the Bronx; (5) the landlord of that Barnes Avenue address 

identified Antoine Chambers as the resident; and (6) a vehicle parked outside 4782 

Barnes Avenue registered to Chambers’s girlfriend bore a license plate, six of the seven 
13 

digits/letters of which matched those provided by one of the robbery victims as on the 

license plate of the car driven by the robbers. J.A. 59–65. These facts are sufficiently 

specific and articulable not only to demonstrate that the sought information would be 

relevant and material to the ongoing investigation, but also to demonstrate probable cause 

to think that the sought information would be evidence of a crime. See Illinois v. Gates, 

462 U.S. 213, 231–32, 238–39 (1983); accord Zalaski v. City of Hartford, 723 F.3d 382, 

389 (2d Cir. 2013) (recognizing that probable cause is flexible standard dealing in 

probabilities rather than certainties). 

5. Kidnapping Statute Challenge 

 a. Facial Challenge 

 Chambers asserts that the federal kidnapping statute, 18 U.S.C. § 1201, is 

unconstitutional on its face as exceeding Congress’s power to legislate under the 

Commerce Clause. See U.S. Const. art. I, § 8, cl. 3. In reviewing that challenge de novo, 

see United States v. Pettus, 303 F.3d 480, 483 (2d Cir. 2002), we are mindful that facial 

challenges to a legislative enactment are “the most difficult . . . to mount successfully” 

because the challenger “must establish that no set of circumstances exists under which 

the Act would be valid.” United States v. Salerno, 481 U.S. 739, 745 (1987); accord New 

York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. Cuomo, 804 F.3d 242, 265 (2d Cir. 2015). That is 

not this case. 

The Supreme Court has recognized Congress’s authority under the Commerce 

Clause to regulate: (1) “the use of the channels of interstate commerce”; (2) “the 

instrumentalities of interstate commerce, or persons or things in interstate commerce, 
14 

even though the threat may come only from intrastate activities”; and (3) “those activities 

having a substantial relation to interstate commerce, i.e., those activities that substantially 

affect interstate commerce.” United States v. Lopez, 514 U.S. 549, 558–59 (1995) 

(citation omitted). In invalidating the statute at issue in Lopez, the Supreme Court 

observed that it contained “no jurisdictional element which would ensure, through caseby-case inquiry, that the [activity] in question affects interstate commerce.” Id. at 561. 

Chambers argues that the federal kidnapping statute suffers from this same defect under 

the third Lopez category. 

The argument fails because the challenged law here is properly evaluated under 

the second, not third, category, i.e., “instrumentalities of interstate commerce.” See

United States v. Gil, 297 F.3d 93, 100 (2d Cir. 2000) (“A showing that a regulated 

activity substantially affects interstate commerce (as required for the third category) is 

not needed when Congress regulates activity in the first two categories.”). The express 

language of § 1201 makes it a federal crime to use “the mail or any means, facility, or 

instrumentality of interstate or foreign commerce” in committing kidnapping. 18 U.S.C. 

§ 1201. In short, because the use of an instrumentality of interstate commerce is an 

element that must be proved in every § 1201 case, Congress’s enactment of that statute 

did not exceed its Commerce Clause authority. See United States v. Giordano, 442 F.3d 

30, 38, 41 (2d Cir. 2006) (rejecting constitutional challenge to law prohibiting use of “the 

mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce” to entice a minor to 

engage in sexual activity, 18 U.S.C. § 2425, because statute was “clearly founded on the 

second type of Commerce Clause power categorized in Lopez,” which allowed Congress 
15 

“to regulate and protect the instrumentalities of interstate commerce even though the 

threat may only come from intrastate activities” (internal quotation marks omitted)). 

Accordingly, Chambers’s facial challenge to § 1201 fails on the merits. 

 b. As Applied Challenge 

 Chambers argues that, even if § 1201 is not unconstitutional on its face, the law 

was unconstitutionally applied in his case because the use of instrumentalities of 

interstate commerce, specifically, cellphones, was too attenuated from the kidnapping to 

fall within Congress’s Commerce Clause authority. We are not persuaded. 

Evidence showed the conspirators’ frequent use of cellphones throughout the 

robbery and kidnapping at issue. Brown used a cellphone to communicate with victim 

Barea shortly before the crimes, which took place when Barea arrived at Brown’s home. 

In the hour before the crimes, Brown communicated a number of times with Chambers, 

using one of the Twizie phones. Even if we were to conclude that at the time of these 

cellphone uses, the plan was to commit only robbery, Barea testified that coconspirator 

Glisson made multiple phone calls during the kidnapping. Thus, the jury could conclude 

that cellphone use was not “casual and incidental” to the kidnapping, but an important 

tool for the conspirators to coordinate their activities during the commission of that crime 

as well as the related robbery. United States v. Archer, 486 F.2d 670, 682 (2d Cir. 1973) 

(Friendly, J.) (internal quotation marks omitted). Accordingly, we identify no 

unconstitutional application here of Congress’s authority to regulate instrumentalities of 

interstate commerce when used in other criminal activity. See generally United States v. 

Holston, 343 F.3d 83, 90–91 (2d Cir. 2003) (stating that “nexus to interstate commerce is 
16 

determined by the class of activities regulated by the statute as a whole, not by the simple 

act for which an individual defendant is convicted” (alterations and internal quotation 

marks omitted)). 

6. Conclusion 

The errors argued by Chambers were either harmless or not errors. Thus, 

considered individually or cumulatively, they afford no relief from judgment. See In re 

Terrorist Bombings of U.S. Embassies in E. Africa, 552 F.3d 93, 147 (2d Cir. 2008) 

(observing that “cumulative error doctrine comes into play only where the total effect of 

the errors found casts such a serious doubt on the fairness of the trial that the conviction[] 

must be reversed” (alterations and internal quotation marks omitted)). We have 

considered Chambers’s remaining arguments and conclude that they are without merit. 

Accordingly, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court.
