United States Eighth Circuit

Conviction and life imprisonment-sentence for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute substance containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine and intent to distribute a controlled substance is affirmed over claims of error that: 1) there was insufficient evidence to support the jury's verdict; 2) the district court abused its discretion in denying his motion for continuance; 3) the district court erred in allowing hearsay testimony; and 4) defendant's life sentence constituted unconstitutional cruel and unusual punishment.
