Federal 7th Circuit Court
Criminal Court
Sufficiency of the Evidence
Defendants were found guilty of conspiring to possess and distribute controlled substances. The defendants appealed, raising a number of issues related to their criminal proceedings including insufficiency of the evidence, a failure to properly instruct the jury using the buyer-seller instruction, and in sentencing. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, finding no reversible errors. (EASTERBROOK And SCUDDER, concurring)
