U.S. v. Brown

Record contained sufficient evidence to support jury’s guilty verdict on drug conspiracy charge, where record showed that defendant purchased on at least 40 occasions between 20 and 100 kilograms of cocaine, and that defendant purchased said drugs on credit and subsequently dropped off over $1 million in cash payments. While govt. failed to present evidence as to what defendant did with drugs after he purchased them, jury could still find existence of conspiracy given evidence of large quantity of drugs that were purchased on credit with regularity and over long period of time. Ct. also rejected defendant’s claim that jury instructions misstated law when it permitted jury to find existence of conspiracy based on credit sales during ongoing arrangement with third-party that indicated existence of mutual cooperation.
