United States v. Davis by Fourth Circuit United States Court Of Appeals Book Summary

Ray Lee Davis, Arthur Earl Carter, Jr., Ernest Maples, Jr., and Bernard Robert Baskerville were convicted of conspiracy to distribute heroin between January, 1977 and June, 1979, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 846 and 841(a)(1). In addition, Davis and Maples were convicted of having traveled in interstate commerce in aid of a racketeering enterprise, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1952(a)(3), and Baskerville was convicted of one count, and Carter of two counts, of possession with intent to distribute heroin, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). Most of the arguments raised by the defendants concern the supposed insufficiency or inherent incredibility of the government's evidence against them. Carter additionally petitions for a new trial on the further ground that testimony extrinsic to the acts charged concerning alleged sales of heroin to 12 or 13 year old children that were made six to eleven years before the present conspiracy is alleged to have begun was erroneously admitted into evidence. The credible evidence clearly supports findings of guilt against Davis, Maples, and Baskerville. We readily affirm their convictions. The special point raised by Carter, however, gives greater pause.
