United States v. Smith, No. 10-3630 (7th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this Case
Defendants were convicted of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and attempt to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine. 21 U.S.C. 841(a)(1) & 846. Baker was also convicted of use of a telephone in commission of the conspiracy, 21 U.S.C. 843(b). The Seventh Circuit affirmed, upholding the district court's denial of a motion for disclosure of the identities of all confidential informers. The court also upheld a three-level sentence increase (U.S.S.G. 3B1.1(b)), rejecting an argument that it was based on unreliable testimony.
