United States Eighth Circuit

Defendant's conviction and sentence for drug related offenses is affirmed over claims that the district court erred by: 1) admitting irrelevant and prejudicial evidence that he restrained, beat, and tattooed an individual in an effort to obtain payment for stolen drugs; 2) denying motions for judgment of acquittal and a new trial; and 3) applying certain sentencing enhancements.
