United States v. Terrell Scott Booker
Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
Decided January 8, 1996No. 95-2067PublishedCited by 34 opinions
1Per curiam
Appellant Terrell Booker was convicted of possession of cocaine base with intent to distribute (21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1)), distribution of cocaine base (21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1)), using or carrying a firearm during drug trafficking (18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(1)), and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon (18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1)). Booker maintains the evidence was insufficient to convict him under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1), and that he was entitled to a downward departure because the higher penalties imposed on cocaine base (“crack”) have a disparate impact on African Americans. We affirm.
