United States v. Diaz-Maldonado, No. 12-1513 (1st Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant, a corrections officer, was convicted of drug and weapons charges for providing security for a drug transaction orchestrated by the FBI as part of a sting operation. The First Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed subject to a limited remand, holding (1) the district court did not err in refusing to instruct the jury on entrapment, as the evidence was insufficient to raise a jury issue of entrapment; and (2) the sentence imposed by the district court was procedurally sound and substantively reasonable. Remanded for correction of a reference in the written judgment that caused no prejudice to Defendant.
