113485P.pdf 01/09/2013 United States v. Tyvarus Lindsey
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 11-3485
and No: 11-3513
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Murphy and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. Person who greeted police had authority
to consent to a search of the house and cell phone seized in the house was
admissible; no error in admitting prior bad-acts evidence against
defendant Lindsey as Lindsey had proper notice of the government's
intent to use the evidence and the evidence was relevant to show intent
and motive; potential prejudice from admission of the evidence was
limited by restrictions on the evidence and the court's limiting
instruction; statements of deceased co-conspirator were properly
admitted; evidence was sufficient to establish a drug conspiracy.
