   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-1611
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - St. Joseph   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Beam and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law and sentencing. Evidence was sufficient to
   support defendant's convictions for conspiracy and maintaining a place to
   manufacture marijuana; no error in admitting evidence that firearms were
   found on the property as they are tools of the drug trade and can be
   admissible as evidence of a drug conspiracy; single reference to a
   homicide on defendant's property did not require a mistrial; improper
   statement about the number of phone calls was cured by a remedial
   instruction and the court's decision to allow defendant to argue at closing
   argument that the testimony was incorrect; no error in imposing
   enhancements for leadership role in the offense and possession of a
   firearm; sentence was not unreasonable.
