United States Seventh Circuit
US v. Hines, 083255p.pdf
Sentence of defendant to 168 months in prison for crack cocaine possession and intent to distribute is vacated and remanded for resentencing as the government presented no evidence to contradict the statement of "Individual A" that defendant was a distributor of both powder and crack cocaine, and as such, there is no basis for assuming that he cooked into crack all 1.531 kilograms of powder that he bought.
