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”
