United States Eighth Circuit

A conviction for two counts of using a firearm in connection with a drug trafficking offense, resulting in the deaths of two individuals, is affirmed over claims that: 1) the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict; 2) the district court erred in two evidentiary rulings; and 3) a verdict should have been entered on only one count because the counts were redundant.
