Is the evidence insufficient to convict Defendant Palomino of the possession of marijuana with intent to distribute?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Palomino, 132 F.3d 41 (9th Cir. 1997):
Palomino contends that the evidence was insufficient because the government failed to prove that he knew the offense involved marijuana. This contention is meritless because the jury did not commit plain error by finding that Palomino aided and abetted the importation of marijuana and the possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. See United States v. Quintero-Barraza, 78 F.3d 1344, 1351 (9th Cir.1995).
