Milo Davis U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 11-3189 U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Bye and Melloy, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal Law and Sentencing. Evidence was sufficient to support defendant's conviction for conspiracy to distribute crack and cocaine and for money laundering; claim of unconstitutional pre- indictment delay rejected; refusal of defense witness to identify his drug sources on cross-examination justified striking his testimony as his refusal deprived the government of the ability to fully cross examine him by testing his assertion that he had not engaged in drug dealing with defendant; district court did not err in refusing to give defendant's proposed instruction on spoilation of evidence where he failed to show the destroyed videotape was exculpatory or had been destroyed in bad faith; no error in refusing to give defendant's proposed multiple conspiracies instruction; district court did not abuse its discretion n refusing to remove a juror after she disclosed her familiarity with the Assistant U.S. Attorney and a Special Agent witness as she did not answer the voir dire questions about the men in a deliberately dishonest fashion or out of partiality, took immediate steps to alert the court as soon as she recalled past contacts and unequivocally affirmed her ability to be impartial; any error in failing to apply the Fair Sentencing Act retroactively was harmless under the facts of the case.
