United States Seventh Circuit

Conviction for drug crimes is affirmed where there was sufficient evidence from which a reasonable jury could find that defendant intentionally joined the charged drug conspiracy. Sentence is vacated and remanded where the court did not make an adequate finding of the quantity of drugs reasonably foreseeable to defendant, a crucial element in determining the proper base offense level.
