United States v. Danso, No. 10-3094 (D.C. Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CaseDefendant pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 100 grams or more of a mixture and substance containing heroin. At issue was whether defendant could qualify under 18 U.S.C. 3553(f)(5) without disclosing the fate of the sample provided by the seller but not delivered in the transaction, or the origin of the sample that he did deliver to the buyer. The court agreed with the district court that defendant did not qualify for safety-valve relief where defendant's omission of the information at issue concerned his offense of conviction and was essential to safety-valve relief.
