United States Seventh Circuit

Conviction and sentence for drug distribution and conspiracy are affirmed over defendant's arguments that: 1) the evidence did not show a single conspiracy, as alleged in the indictment; 2) the district court abused its discretion in denying his motion for a new trial on the ground that the government's witness committed perjury; and 3) the district court erred in imposing a sentence adding a firearm enhancement and finding that the amount of cocaine attributable to defendant exceeded five kilograms.
