S.D. Ill.
Holding: 
Affirmed
Record contained sufficient evidence to support jury's guilty verdict on charge that defendant aided and abetted drug deal. While defendant argued that record showed at most that he drove drug participant in drug deal to and from location of drug sale, defendant's participation five days earlier in similar controlled drug sale in which defendant drove same individual to site of sale and handled drugs at said site permitted jury to infer that defendant was not innocently driving drug sale participant in charged offense, but rather was assisting him.
