United States First Circuit

Convictions on drug distribution charges are affirmed over defendants' arguments concerning jury instructions, jury selection, the special verdict form and insufficiency of evidence. In addition, one defendant's sentence is affirmed, but the other's reversed and remanded for resentencing where the judge failed to make an individualized finding as to drug amounts attributable to, or foreseeable by, that defendant.
