United States First Circuit
US v. Mercedes-De la Cruz, 14-1186
Conviction and sentence for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine and possession with intent to distribute cocaine are vacated and remanded where there was ineffective assistance of defense counsel, as the record is sufficiently developed and the facts concerning the apparently unjustified arrest and counsel's failure to move to suppress are sufficiently egregious as to warrant relief.
