United States Sixth Circuit

Defendant, convicted of charges relating to six kilograms of cocaine and sentenced to three concurrent life terms, unsuccessfully appeals. The "rule of consistency," which would require that one co-conspirator not be convicted when all other co-conspirators are acquitted at the same trial, is no longer good law.
