United States v. Rios-Ortiz, No. 11-2200 (1st Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances (Count One), distribution of a controlled substance, and possessing and providing contraband to a prison. Appellant was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of seventy-eight months. Appellant appealed his conviction on Count One, arguing that the evidence was insufficient to establish a single conspiracy as charged in the indictment. The First Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment of the district court, holding that the evidence in this case would allow a rational jury to determine beyond a reasonable doubt that the single conspiracy charged in the indictment existed.
