United States v. Charles

CAMPBELL, Senior Circuit Judge.

Ronald Charles appeals from his conviction for assault on a federal officer in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 111 after a jury trial in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. He makes two claims: (1) that the district court erred in allowing the admission of evidence related to Charles’s possession of drugs and (2) that the district court erred in allowing the government’s case agent, who was allegedly also a victim of the assault, to sit at the government’s counsel table.
