United States v. Adam Victor Guerra-Marez, Esperanza Adame, Maria Paredes-Moya, and Wenseslada Reyes-Moya
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided May 29, 1991No. 90-1057PublishedCited by 75 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
DUHÉ, Circuit Judge:
The appellants raise several challenges to their convictions for an assortment of narcotics violations. By adopting the arguments of their co-appellants, 2 all appellants contend that wiretap transcripts were erroneously admitted, that the prosecutor improperly exercised his peremptory strikes, and that the indictment was fatally flawed. Appellants Guerra-Marez and Reyes-Moya also contest the sufficiency of the evidence supporting their convictions. Finding only Reyes-Moya’s sufficiency challenge meritorious, we affirm in part and reverse in part.
