How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- finding that a chemist's testimony identifying the substance as cocaine base without referring to \crack\ was sufficient to support the defendant's sentence under the statutory minimum for cocaine base and the Guideline for crack
- rejecting argument that evidence was insufficient to permit district court to conclude form of cocaine involved was crack; forensic chemist testified substance was cocaine base and conclusion was not contradicted by other evidence
- no error in sentencing pursuant to enhanced statute for cocaine base where uncontradicted trial testimony established substance was cocaine base
- chemist provided uncontradicted testimony that substance was cocaine base; irrelevant that chemist did not specifically say substance was \cocaine base which is the same as crack\
