SILER, Circuit Judge.
Ronald Hunter and Edwin Culp appeal their convictions for murder in furtherance of a continuing criminal enterprise (“CCE”) under 21 U.S.C. § 848(e)(1)(A). Damond Sellers and David Powell appeal their convictions and sentences that followed their Rule 11 Plea Agreements.
BACKGROUND
These appeals arise from a large drug conspiracy in Detroit in the 1980s and ’90s. Timothy Patton was the leader of the conspiracy throughout most of the time it operated. Sellers sold Patton’s cocaine on a consignment basis. Many others, including Keith Houston, sold drugs for the operation.
