How have the courts treated the use of "problems of drugs" in the context of drug trafficking cases?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Wilner, 523 F.2d 68 (2nd Cir. 1975):
The proof established the illegal importation of almost a ton of marijuana in the space of a few months. With this background, it was not improper for the prosecutor to refer to the "problems of drugs" and the fact that there was a "lot of marijuana" involved. United States v. Ramos, 268 F.2d 878 (2d Cir. 1959). The District Judge carefully observed for the record that the prosecutor's comments were made in a "very calm, dispassionate tone".
