United States First Circuit

Conviction for drug and weapons conspiracies is affirmed over defendant's arguments that: 1) the district court allowed hearsay testimony in violation of the Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment; 2) the district court allowed testimony about his possession of a weapon that was not charged in the indictment in violation of the Fifth Amendment; and 3) without the challenged testimony, the evidence was insufficient to support the conviction.
