Description
This case arose out of a complex laundering scheme for money derived from Colombian drug transactions. The scheme involved the transfer of cash to a courier in Miami. The courier would take the cash to Northern Kentucky, deposit it in banks and draw checks upon it for use of the funds in Colombia. Five defendants were tried in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky in 1985 for violating 21 U.S.C. § 846 by conspiring to distribute, to possess with intent to distribute, and to aid and abet others in the distribution of cocaine. Each defendant was also charged with violation of the Travel Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1952. All were convicted. All defendants now appeal, raising a variety of objections, primarily concerning the adequacy of the evidence to connect each of the defendants to the conspiracy. We have carefully considered all of the points raised by the defendants below, and we affirm the district court's judgment of conviction entered on a jury verdict.
