United States Seventh Circuit

Conviction for conspiring to sell Ecstasy is overturned on the basis of insufficient evidence where there was no evidentiary basis for a finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in the co-conspirator's guilty plea, thus the plea could not be evidence in the defendant's case.
