Description
In their separate appeals, Defendants Carl Brown and Carl Scruggs raise identical challenges to their convictions on a single count of aiding and abetting in the attempt to possess cocaine with the intent to distribute it, and we will therefore dispose of the two appeals in one opinion. Both defendants claim that the district court was without jurisdiction to hear the case and further erred by refusing to allow into evidence testimony from a similar state proceeding, failing to hold a hearing to investigate claims of prosecutorial misconduct, permitting the government to present the testimony of a witness who agreed to testify in exchange for a sentence reduction, permitting the scope of re-direct examination to exceed matters raised on cross-examination and providing a jury instruction that required a finding of guilt. Defendant Scruggs also appeals his sentence, claiming that the court erred by applying sentencing enhancements. We will affirm the judgment of the district court.
