United States Sixth Circuit

Defendant's conviction for distribution and possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine is affirmed where: 1) dismissal was not an available remedy for the Speedy Trial Act violation that occurred in the case; 2) the constitutional Speedy Trial Clause was not violated; 3) the government's evidence was admissible and sufficient; and 4) the district court did not plainly err in failing sua sponte to strike certain remarks by the prosecutor in closing argument.
