United States Seventh Circuit

Conviction for drug crimes and firearms possession is affirmed where the district court did not err in denying defendant's motion for a mistrial as the prosecutor's challenged remarks were not improper, and the weight of the evidence presented at trial was more than sufficient to establish defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
