United States Second Circuit

Defendant's convictions for narcotics offenses and resisting arrest are affirmed in part and vacated in part and remanded where: 1) the circumstances in this case easily permitted an inference that defendant, far from being an unwitting courier for a drug-distribution conspiracy, was a willing participant who knew that the shipment contained narcotics; but 2) the evidence adduced at trial did not permit a finding to support defendant's conviction for resisting arrest.
