United States Sixth Circuit

A conviction and sentence for drug- and firearm-related offenses is affirmed primarily where the district court's permitting a police officer to testify as both an expert and a fact witness, without the issuance of a cautionary instruction to the jury, did not constitute reversible error under US v. Lopez-Medina, 461 F.3d 724 (6th Cir. 2006).
