U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-2675
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Benton, Circuit
Judge]
Criminal case - Criminal law. District court did not err in admitting a
witness's identification of defendant at her initial police interview and
again at trial as the identifications were based on the witness's personal
contact with defendant and not on impermissibly-suggestive police
procedures; no error in admitting evidence of defendant's prior
involvement in cocaine distribution as the prior acts were not too remote
in time and the acts were similar to those charged here; evidence was
sufficient to support defendant's conviction for conspiracy to possess
cocaine with intent to distribute.
