United States Eighth Circuit
US v. Shafer, 09-2309
Defendant's drug conspiracy conviction is affirmed where: 1) a typical person would have understood the exchange between defendant and an officer to allow the officer to seize defendant's briefcase and its contents; 2) the denial of defendant's motion for a continuance did not prejudice him; and 3) a reasonable jury could conclude that defendant's Mercedes was purchased with the proceeds from his drug distribution.
