• affirming denial of continuance motion based on counsel’s unavailability due to entry into drug rehabilitation program where district court reasoned that “’[d]efendant has retained several able lawyers’”
• “In particular, hearings [with the defendant] are unnecessary when there is no dispute about the facts underlying the request for a continuance.”
• “In this circuit, the uncorroborated word of an accomplice ... provides a sufficient basis for concluding that the defendant committed extrinsic acts admissible under Rule 404(b).”
• “The prosecution can introduce evidence of a defendant’s otherwise admissible acts if the jury could find by a preponderance of the evidence that the acts did in fact occur.”
• “Because Bowe was charged with and convicted of only the conspiracy to import cocaine, for which the Bahamian government approved his extradition, the prosecution’s sweeping evidentiary case did not violate the doctrine of specialty.”
