091328P.pdf   10/16/2009  United States  v.  Donald Turner
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-1328
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Wollman and Hansen, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - Criminal law and Sentencing. Evidence was sufficient
   to support defendant's conviction for conspiring to distribute
   methamphetamine; prior bad acts evidence was admissible under Rule
   404(b) as it went to knowledge and intent, was similar in kind and close
   in time to the charged crimes, and any possible prejudice was outweighed
   by the evidence's probative value and minimized by a proper limiting
   instruction; mandatory minimum sentence is constitutional.
