United States Ninth Circuit

Defendant's convictions for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute over 500 grams of methamphetamine, money laundering conspiracy, and money laundering, are affirmed where: 1) the district court did not abuse its discretion by refusing to strike the testimony pertaining to a proposed exhibit, because the proposed exhibit was never shown to the jury and was excluded from evidence; 2) testimony established that the senders of the wire transfer at issue were defendant's co-conspirators and the wire transfer was relevant to the conspiracy, and thus evidence on that issue was admissible; and 3) the district court did not err in its jury instructions by failing to define "proceeds" narrowly to mean "profits."
