United States Eleventh Circuit

Defendants' drug conspiracy convictions are affirmed where: 1) the fact that there was no evidence that defendants sold drugs to each other was not dispositive of the conspiracy issue; 2) due to the repeated nature of the transactions and the large quantities involved, a rational trier of fact could infer a corresponding conspiracy to distribute the cocaine; and 3) one defendant's prior convictions were relevant to show intent.
