United States Fourth Circuit
US v. Hackley, 10-4069
Conviction and sentencing of defendant for offenses related to his sale of cocaine base to a government informant and his attempts to have the informant murdered are upheld as supported by legally sufficient evidence even though the facts come "perilously close to the lower boundary" of what is acceptable as substantive evidence of a conspiracy to distribute drugs.
