United States First Circuit

Conviction and sentence on drug and weapons charges are affirmed over defendant's arguments that: 1) the prosecution improperly engaged in a pattern of misconduct during both cross-examination and closing arguments; 2) there was insufficient evidence to conclude that defendant constructively possessed the firearms; and 3) the district court erroneously believed it was constrained by the United States Sentencing Guidelines.
