United States Sixth Circuit

Conviction of a former Detroit police officer, on charges arising from a scheme to remove seized drugs from the evidence room at a police department and sell those drugs for profit, is affirmed over claims that: 1) remarks and conduct by the district judge deprived him of his right to a fair trial; 2) the government's proof at trial so varied from the indictment that it violated his constitutional rights; 3) insufficient evidence the verdict on three counts; and 4) his attorney rendered constitutionally ineffective assistance.
