Description
A jury found Oster Witherspoon guilty of (1) one count of conspiracy to possess and distribute heroin, (2) one count of operating a continuing criminal enterprise ("CCE"), (3) one count of possession with intent to sell heroin, (4) one count of conspiracy to launder money, and (5) one count of money laundering. The district court imposed concurrent sentences of 400 months for the CCE count and 420 months for the substantive drug and money laundering counts. On appeal, Witherspoon contends that (1) the evidence was insufficient to establish a continuing criminal enterprise, (2) testimony from two law enforcement officers regarding alleged prior uncharged misconduct was erroneously admitted, and (3) the jury should not have been allowed to consider his flight from South Carolina to New York as evidence of his guilt. For the reasons stated below, we affirm.
