Annotate this CaseDefendant pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine and aiding and abetting possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. On appeal, Defendant sought to vacate his conviction for the aiding and abetting count, arguing that the proffer at the plea colloquy did not provide a sufficient factual basis for finding the requisite intent for aiding and abetting possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. The First Circuit affirmed, holding that the court below could conclude that the government’s proffered facts provided a rational basis from which to infer that Defendant was guilty of the offense.
