United States First Circuit

Conviction and sentence for unlawful distribution of prescription drugs, monetary transactions from unlawful activity, and false statements is affirmed over claims of: 1) trial errors, primarily prosecutorial misconduct and error by the court as to its treatment of two jurors; 2) sentencing errors claiming that defendant was wrongly denied credit when the prosecution declined to move for a departure based on substantial assistance, and that the district court erroneously calculated the amount of loss attributable to her conduct.
