Description
The defendant-appellant, James Barrie Snyder, was indicted for conspiring to distribute Lysergic Acid Diethylamide ("LSD") under 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and for involving minors in the conspiracy under 21 U.S.C. § 845b.*fn1 The defendant was convicted by a jury and was sentenced to serve a term of ninety-seven months. The defendant has presented a number of issues on appeal, which may generally be grouped together into the following issues: (1) whether the government's witnesses improperly commented on his right to remain silent; (2) whether the district court erred in allowing the government to introduce evidence tending to prove that the defendant had conspired to distribute marijuana even though the indictment did not charge him with conspiring to distribute marijuana; (3) whether the government improperly bolstered the testimony of one of its witnesses; (4) whether there was sufficient evidence to support his conviction; and (5) whether the district court improperly calculated his sentence under the United States Sentencing Guidelines by basing his sentence on a quantity of LSD sold by a co-conspirator. For the reasons stated below, we AFFIRM the district court.
