U.S. v. Stevenson

Record contained sufficient evidence to support jury’s guilty verdict on drug distribution charge based on three controlled purchases made by informant that had been observed by police officers. Record showed that officers gave money to informant who purchased drugs from defendant and then turned drugs over to said officers. Fact that informant was crack addict who received immunity from other criminal charges in exchange for her cooperation with authorities did not require different result where jury was fully aware of circumstances surrounding her testimony. Moreover, defendant failed to show impossibility of what informant claimed occurred during instant controlled purchases.
