U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 08-3422
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Sioux City
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Riley and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Criminal Case - conviction. District court did not err in denying motion
for judgment of acquittal, as there was sufficient evidence to support
conviction for conspiracy to manufacture and distribute crack cocaine and
to distribute powder cocaine. District court did not abuse its discretion
in denying motion for new trial, as El Herman declined to seek a mistrial
after prejudicial statement was made and could not expect a new trial
after jury returned guilty verdict.
