U.S. v. Goree

Record contained sufficient evidence to support defendant’s conviction on drug conspiracy charge, where defendant admitted to driving with third-party from St. Louis to Chicago in order for third-party to purchase crack cocaine on two occasions and to providing security during said drug deals, even though defendant argued that he did not actively participate in either drug deal and did not stand to gain financially from either deal. Defendant’s provision of driving and security services was enough evidence for trier-of-fact to determine that defendant was aware that drug deal was going down, and that he had agreed to play role in both deals.
