1Opinion of the Court

KRAVITCH, Circuit Judge:

Appellants and appellees are thirteen Chilean seamen indicted for drug trafficking. After a jury trial and guilty verdicts as to all thirteen, the five appellees successfully moved for acquittal notwithstanding the verdict under Fed.R.Crim.P. 29(c) based on insufficient evidence. The government appeals these Rule 29(c) orders of acquittal. The eight remaining defendants also moved for acquittal under Rule 29(c) at trial, but their motions were denied. They appeal on a number of grounds. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
