United States Sixth Circuit

A conviction and sentence for drug- and weapons-related charges is affirmed over claims that the district court erred in: 1) allowing the government to reinstate, following defendant's withdrawal of his guilty plea, two charges from an earlier indictment that were dismissed pursuant to the plea agreement; and 2) permitting the government to introduce an individual's FBI statement and derivative evidence at trial.
