031490P.pdf   01/21/2004  United States  v.  Craig Ramon Chapman
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-1490
   District of Minnesota   
   Criminal case - criminal law. Admission of hearsay statements was 
   error, but the error was harmless in light of the evidence against 
   defendant; evidence was sufficient to support defendant's drug 
   conviction; truly exceptional rehabilitation alone can, in rare cases, 
   support a downward departure even when the defendant does not accept 
   responsibility; case remanded for further consideration of whether 
   defendant should be granted a downward departure based on his post- 
   offense rehabilitation.[PUBLISHED]
