U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-3476
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa, Waterloo
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Melloy and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. Evidence was sufficient to support
defendant's conviction for conspiracy to distribute and possess at least
one kilogram of heroin; district court did not abuse its discretion by
rejecting defendant's request for a buyer-seller instruction as it was not
supported by the evidence, which showed that the conspiracy spanned years,
with multiple transactions and customers; defendant jointly proposed the
instruction on drug quantity and could not now claim it was erroneous.
