United States Eighth Circuit

A conviction for conspiracy to distribute illegal drugs is affirmed where: 1) the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the defendant's motion for a bill of particulars; and 2) defendant's Brady claim is rejected where, despite the government's failure to disclose certain impeachment evidence, defendant in fact effectively cross-examined the witnesses at issue about inconsistencies between what they had said to police and what they testified to.
