Eighth Circuit -- United States v. Donavan Michael Slagg

United States v. Donavan Michael Slagg

 No error in district court finding of large conspiracy as opposed to many smaller ones, as interdependence of multiple buyers and sellers indicated a common purpose.

Broke deft posting bail allows jury reasonably to conclude that drug money is being laundered.

No error in not giving instruction that buyer/seller is insufficient for conspiracy, as evidence established that more was going on than buying and selling.


When deft objected to introduction of mug shot but subsequently withdrew the objection, the claim is waived for appeal.

Where consent to forfeiture is predicated on conviction, not relevant which offense is convicted (deft was acquitted of the most seemingly relevant one).
