How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that evidence supported conspiracy with an unnamed drug supplier where inter alia defendant purchased “wholesale quantities of drugs” from the supplier
  • reasoning that Delgado’s dealings were more than simple buy-sell transactions because the evidence demonstrated that he “knowingly participated in a plan to distribute drugs”
  • stating that although “possession of a large quantity of drugs”—in that case 500 pounds— “is not, by itself, sufficient to support a conspiracy conviction,” it “can help justify the inference that more than one person must be involved in moving the large quantity toward its ultimate dispersal”
  • affirming when the defendant, who owned a trucking company, arranged for the transportation and delivery of the marijuana through her company, which involved falsifying bills of lading
  • adding “challenges to omitted jury instructions are reversible ‘only in egregious instances’ ”
  • stating the general rule that “arguments not raised on appeal are forfeited”
