United States Fourth Circuit
US v. Hall, 07-4067, 07-4070, 07-4397
Convictions are affirmed on multiple offenses arising from a drug trafficking scheme. Though Defendants were acquitted of distribution offenses in their two District of Columbia trials, their subsequent convictions for distribution offenses in Maryland, which concerned discrete shipments of cocaine, are not barred by double jeopardy principles. Two-year delay following their initial indictment in Maryland did not violate their right to a speedy trial.
