Decision in Criminal Matter Involving Family-based Drug Ring
US v. Green, No. 08-4088 concerned a consolidated appeal of defendants convicted of drug related crimes involved a family-based drug distribution network and money laundering scheme.
In rejecting defendants' various claims, the court affirmed the convictions finding that, inter alia, there was sufficient evidence to support the convictions beyond a reasonable doubt, and that the district court did not clearly err in finding that the search of one of the defendant's residence and the area under his bed, was a permissible protective sweep.
