Third Cicuit -- USA v. Barron Walker

Not the brother's jailkeeper - no error on denial of severance on grounds that the codeft brother had escaped from pretrial detention.  

CI's testimony that one of the brothers had carried a gun during a drug transaction and it was visible to the other sufficed for possession and constructive possession. 

Expert testimony that cocaine originated outside of Pennsylvania based on sufficiently reliable methods.

Sufficient evidence for Hobbs Act conviction (robbery in restraint of interstate commerce) where defts robbed first-time drug dealer whose product came from out of state.

No Brady violation where gov't doesn't tell deft that CI was caught with cocaine base in pocket just before sting operation.
