Is a conviction for moral turpitude a crime?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Aguilar v. Holder, 13-319 (2nd Cir. 2014):
In determining whether a conviction constitutes a crime involving moral turpitude, we employ a "categorical approach," under which "the singular circumstances of an individual petitioner's crimes should not be considered, and only the minimum criminal conduct necessary to sustain a conviction under a given statute is relevant." Gertsenshteyn v. U.S. Dep't of Justice, 544 F.3d 137, 143 (2d Cir. 2008) (internal quotation marks omitted).
