United States v. Foy, No. 09-3314 (10th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CaseIn 2009, a jury found Defendant-Appellant Shevel Foy guilty of multiple drug possession and trafficking charges. The district court imposed concurrent sentences of 360 months’ imprisonment for each charge. Defendant appealed various aspects of his convictions and sentences. Of note, Defendant challenged his conviction on conspiracy charges, arguing that wiretap information should have been suppressed. Additionally, Defendant challenged whether the District of Kansas was the proper court to hear his case. After a thorough review of the trial record, the Tenth Circuit affirmed Defendant’s conviction and sentence on conspiracy charges. However, the Court found that the events that led to the conspiracy charge did not take place within the District of Kansas. The Court vacated only those convictions where the underlying charges did not take place in Kansas.
