United States First Circuit

Conviction of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and possession with intent to distribute at least 15 kilograms but less than 50 kilograms of cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. sections 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A), and 846, are affirmed where: 1) because the entire drug deal was captured on video and audio -- which show defendant inspecting the drugs with his own hands -- there was sufficient evidence to convict; and 2) defendant's claims that there were errors at his trial are without merit.
