United States v. Gil-Cruz, No. 14-41298 (5th Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his conviction for importing and possessing a controlled substance with intent to distribute. The court concluded that any error the district court committed by admitting photographs found on defendant's cellphone at the time of his arrest that showed an alter he had built was harmless. The court also concluded that defendant's contention that there was insufficient evidence to show that he had knowledge of the type and quantity of drugs he was carrying was foreclosed by United States v. Betancourt. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
