How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that admis- sion of expert testimony that twenty-one \hits\ of crack cocaine were \certainly possessed with the intent to distribute\ was not plain error
• holding that ineffective assistance claims are only appropriate on direct appeal when it \‘conclusively appears’ from the record that defense counsel did not provide effective representation\
• recognizing the exception, but failing to apply it because the record did not \conclusively demonstrate\ that counsel was ineffective
• rejecting argument that “impoundment effectively transformas] [a] car from a movable vehicle into a fixed piece of property”
• upholding admission of expert testimony that beepers and 11 address books are commonly used by drug traffickers
• asking the defense’s sole wit- ness whether he had ever been convicted of a felony was deemed \im- provident\ but not so prejudicial as to warrant a new trial
