United States Seventh Circuit

Defendant's conviction and sentence for possessing with intent to distribute more than 50 grams of crack cocaine are affirmed where: 1) a prosecution witness's single earlier conviction did not render incredible all of her future statements; and 2) under settled law, the district court’s decision to impose a life sentence was not error at all, much less plain error.
