U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 19-3224
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Dubuque
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Grasz, Circuit Judge, and Clark, District
Judge]
Criminal case - Criminal law. The evidence was sufficient to support
defendant's convictions for conspiring to distribute crack and heroin and
distribution of heroin; Batson challenge rejected as defendant failed to
establish the government's race-neutral reasons for rejecting a juror were
pretextual; the court did not err in answering the jury's question asking
for a clarification of the term "on or about" by directing the jury to
reread the instructions in the case.
