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

• finding constructive amendment, vacating judgment, and remanding for a new trial \should the government decide to reprosecute\
• finding constructive amendment because “[t]he government’s sparse evidence of [the defendant’s] involvement in cocaine and the court’s jury charge . . . allowed the jury to convict [the defendant] of offenses based on transactions not charged.”
• “The operative facts were the same even if the 5 prosecution failed to realize that the controlled substance in the transaction charged was cocaine rather than heroin. . . . Therefore, the defendants were aware of the ‘core of criminality’ which was to be proved at trial.”
