121303P.pdf 05/17/2013 United States v. Aaron Polk
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-1303
U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Lincoln
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Beam and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal case and sentencing. Evidence was sufficient
to support defendant's conviction for conspiracy to manufacture and
possess 1,000 or more marijuana plants as the government showed he
intentionally joined the conspiracy and it was reasonably foreseeable that
the conspiracy would involve more than 1,000 plants; no discovery
violation occurred with respect to the government's disclosure of a police
interview with a government witness, and the district court did not err in
declining to exclude the witness's testimony; district court imposed a
reasonable limit on defendant's cross-examination of the witness because
the questioning involved an unrelated matter; the district court did not err
in rejecting defendant's request for safety-valve sentencing where
defendant failed to truthfully provide the government all information and
evidence that he had concerning the offense.
