First Circuit: US v. Ortiz-Islas

Souter, Crim, Conspiracy, FRE, Sentencing


Plan to sell drugs in the jurisdiction was a second plan within the same conspiracy, as opposed to a second conspiracy.

Post-indictment evidence was sufficiently probative to be allowed.

Courts potential assignment of minimum sentence was at most harmless error.

No abuse of discretion in disparate sentences for co-conspirators.
