People v. Long

Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of methamphetamine conspiracy and sentenced to 30 years. Defendant's conviction is reduced to the offense of methamphetamine conspiracy based on his participation in the manufacture of 100 or more grams but less than 400 grams of a substance containing methamphetamine. Remanded for resentencing. Evidence sufficiently established that this quantity, rather than quantity charged, was attributable to Defendant.aivNo ineffective assistance of counsel, as it was sound trial strategy for defense counsel to challenge testimony from deputy that accuracy of co-conspirator's statements increased over time; and other errors were minor. (KNECHT and TURNER, concurring.)
