United States Seventh Circuit

Conviction and sentence for drug and weapons charges are affirmed over defendant's arguments that: 1) the evidence was insufficient to support the prosecution's contention that he possessed a weapon and drugs seized from his girlfriend's apartment; 2) the evidence was insufficient to support the jury's finding that the cocaine he possessed was crack cocaine; and 3) he was improperly designated a career offender for sentencing purposes.
