   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-3401
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Loken and Colloton, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. The district court properly admitted 
   evidence that defendant was part of an organized group that distributed 
   narcotics and this evidence was sufficient to support his conspiracy 
   conviction; defendant was not entitled to an instruction regarding 
   withdrawal from the conspiracy as the evidence he relies on - his 
   incarceration - is not, by itself, sufficient to constitute withdrawal; 
   the district court did not abuse its discretion by refusing to grant a 
   mistrial after a juror played a voice message received from an inmate, as 
   the message did not relate to the trial and did not cause psychological 
   pressure for or against defendant.
