United States v. Carrillo, No. 10-50243 (5th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted by a jury of possessing with intent to distribute methamphetamine and sentenced to 172 months' imprisonment. Defendant raised several issues on appeal. The court held that defendant did not clearly invoke his right not to be questioned without an attorney present and therefore, the district court did not err by denying his motion to suppress; the police did not deceive defendant into waiving his constitutional right not to be questioned without an attorney present; the district court did not abuse its discretion by giving the flight instruction to the jury; the government had shown that the error in admitting certain testimony was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt; the government had met its burden of showing that if the admission of defendant's prior conviction was error, it was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt; and that the supervised release condition survived plain error review.
