U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Bye and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Search warrant application
established probable cause to believe that evidence of drug dealing would
be found; defendant was given his Miranda rights at the time of his arrest
and his statements were voluntary and admissible; no error in admitting
testimony regarding acquitted counts at defendant's retrial; this circuit's
precedents preclude admission of evidence regarding prior acquittals;
evidence was sufficient to support defendant's conviction for drug
distribution; no error in enhancing sentence for obstruction of justice or in
denying an acceptance-of-responsibility reduction.
