   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-3141
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Wollman and Colloton, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal Case - conviction. Conviction for conspiracy to distribute 
   cocaine and possession with intent to distribute cocaine is affirmed. 
   Although the district court and the government recited some of the 
   purposes for which evidence of prior conviction may be used without an 
   accompanying case-specific analysis, any error in admitting the evidence 
   of prior convictions was harmless. District court did not err in admitting 
   co-conspirator's post arrest statement to rehabilitate another 
   co-conspirator's statement, as it was offered for impeachment purposes, 
   was non-hearsay co-conspirator statements, and was admitted solely under 
   Rule 806. Prior consistent statements are not admissible as rehabilitative 
   evidence, but may be admitted to explain or impeach inconsistent 
   statement. In this case the district court did not abuse its discretion in 
   admitting all the proffered evidence. District court did not err in 
   concluding the government's suppression of the photograph used for 
   identification purposes did not constitute a Brady violation, as there was 
   no reasonable probability the result would have been different had the 
   earlier photograph been disclosed to defendant; district court did not 
   abuse its discretion in denying a new trial. Judge Colloton concurs in 
   part and concurs in the judgment.
