U.S. v. Maxwell

Defendants were charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking offense, and possession of a firearm by a felon. One defendant pleaded guilty to all charges and the second defendant was convicted on all counts by a jury. In a consolidated appeal, the defendants challenged the propriety of a search warrant for their apartment. The defendant convicted by a jury also challenged the sufficiency of the evidence. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, finding no errors. (SYKES and SCUDDER, concurring)
