noting that Supreme Court “has sanctioned” limiting instructions “as an alternative to the more drastic remedy of severance”
rejecting defendant drug seller’s claim that purchaser’s use of an additional supplier precluded a reasonable jury from convicting him of the conspiracy charge
noting evidence of multiple drug purchases for resale permits inference buyer was aware of and “shared common goals with” conspiracy
reviewing to determine whether preserved constitutional Booker error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt
noting “[t]his court need not even reach the second ... alternative if it concludes that a jury likely would not have found the quantity of drugs required for [the defendant’s] sentence beyond a reasonable doubt”
