United States v. Martinez, William

How courts have described this case

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

• noting that expert testimony concerned “general trafficking routes” and did not refer to any defendant’s “particular mental state” (emphasis in original)
• observing that such testimony is “common in drug cases,” and upholding the admission of expert testimony from a DEA agent regarding the likely destination of drugs shipped from Colombia through Central America
• rejecting an insufficiency argument in part because there was evidence that the sales price of cocaine increased dramatically if the drug was sold in the United States
• finding intent to murder witness \both to exact revenge and to prevent\ witness's testimony supports application of forfeiture-by- wrongdoing exception
