United States v. Sanchez, No. 12-2084 (10th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseDefendant Edwin Sanchez, Sr. appealed his conviction on one count of possession with intent to distribute 100 kilograms or more of marijuana. He received a 78-month sentence. Defendant argued: (1) there were factual errors in the search-warrant affidavit, thereby entitling him to suppression of the evidence obtained in the search; (2) the telephone records should not have been admitted as evidence because they were unfairly prejudicial; (3) the district court erred by denying him a sentencing adjustment; (4) the court’s finding that he gave perjured testimony during trial was not sufficiently independent of the jury’s verdict to support a sentence enhancement for obstruction of justice; and (5) his sentence was substantively unreasonable. Finding that all of defendant's assignments of error lacked merit, the Tenth Circuit affirmed his conviction and sentence.
