1Opinion of the Court
TINDER, Circuit Judge.
Crime is a risky business. One of the risks is that you will get caught. That happened to Darek Haynes, Broderick Jones, Eural Black, and Brent Terry. They were charged with a drug conspiracy, a robbery and extortion conspiracy, and related offenses. Haynes, Jones, and Black also were charged with a racketeering conspiracy. Haynes and Jones pled guilty. Black and Terry were tried by a jury and convicted. These defendants appeal, raising several issues. Finding no error, we affirm.
