United States First Circuit

Conviction for drug crimes is affirmed where: 1) the evidence against defendant was sufficient to support his conviction; 2) the district court did not err in giving a willful blindness instruction to the jury at retrial as it was supported by sufficient facts; and 3) defendant is not entitled to a new trial as the jury verdict was supported by the weight of the evidence.
