United States v. Ralph Eugene Morton, United States of America v. Kenneth Lee Johnson, A.K.A. Kenneth Johnson, Jr.
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judge.
Ralph Morton appeals his conviction on one count of conspiracy to distribute five grams or more of cocaine base (crack cocaine), see 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(B), 846. He argues that the district court’s jury instructions constructively amended the indictment under which he was charged, that there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction, that the prosecution engaged in misconduct, and that the district court erroneously restricted his counsel’s cross-examination of a witness and his counsel’s closing argument. We affirm.
