United States v. Macias-Faria, No. 11-6241 (6th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of conspiring to possess with intent to distribute more than 1,000 kilograms of marijuana and of aiding and abetting possession with the intent to distribute more than 1,000 kilograms of marijuana, 21 U.S.C. 841, 846, and sentenced to 320 months of incarceration. The Sixth Circuit affirmed the conviction, rejecting an argument that the trial court erred in denying a mistrial after testimony of a prosecution witness that purportedly revealed a Brady violation and constituted a violation of the Confrontation Clause. The evidence at issue was neither exculpatory nor material. The court remanded for resentencing, instructing the district court to identify particular statements that amounted to perjury, to justify enhancement for obstruction of justice.
