U.S. v. Spagnola

Record contained sufficient evidence to support jury's guilty verdict on drug conspiracy charge arising out of sting operation in which informant and defendant made plans to assist drug courier to rob courier's employer. While defendant argued that evidence was insufficient since it showed only that he made agreement with govt. agents, record showed that defendant and third-party also agreed with agents to participate in planned robbery. Moreover, Dist. Ct. did not err in failing to grant defendant's severance request based on admission by co-defendant that govt. had sufficient evidence to establish conspiracy where said statement did not facially incriminate defendant.
