How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that possession of more than thirty-five pounds of cocaine valued at between $5 and $7 million ruled out a simple possession jury instruction
- stating that “given the lack of such a request by [the defendant], the district court’s failure to give such an instruction [did] not amount to reversible error”
- evidence of a small amount of cocaine in defendant's possession was admissible under 404(b) because it was relevant to rebut principal defense that the defendant's involvement in the conspiracy to distribute cocaine was mere happenstance
