ROSS, Circuit Judge.
Appellants in this case were charged in a heroin conspiracy and distribution scheme which took place in Minneapolis and extended over a period of about five months. Appellants include two women, Brenda Bas-signani and Miriam De Roode, and twin brothers, Leo Anthony Brown and Cleo Arthur Brown. Also indicted in the scheme were Laura Figone and Michael Rush. Neither of the latter two is an appellant, however; Laura Figone pleaded guilty after the trial began, and Michael Rush is a fugitive from justice, having failed to show up at the trial.
