Defendant's RICO and drug conspiracy convictions are affirmed where: 1) because 18 U.S.C. section 1959(a)(1) provided that a person who "murders" in aid of racketeering may be "punished . . . by death," the indictment for that offense "may be found at any time without limitation"; and 2) the evidence was sufficient to show that the RICO conspiracy alleged in the indictment existed.
