United States v. Jeri, No. 16-11418 (11th Cir. 2017)
Annotate this CaseThe Eleventh Circuit affirmed the district court's denial of defendant's motion for a new trial after he was convicted of importing a controlled substance and of possessing a controlled substance with the intent to distribute. Defendant argued that the district court committed several errors by failing to continue his trial and allowing the case to proceed before he had a chance to watch a video that filmed the seizure of defendant's drugs at the airport for a television show called, "Drug Wars." The court held that the tape was not exculpatory and defendant failed to establish specific and substantial prejudice from this omission. The court found no other errors in the record.
