Heading: Ms. Boguille's conspiracy conviction

Text: 24 Ms. Boguille challenges her conviction, under Count I of the indictment, for conspiracy. She claims that the evidence was insufficient to show that she knowingly agreed to participate in the conspiracy. Ms. Boguille argues that the government's primary witness with respect to her involvement in the conspiracy was impeached and thus her testimony could not serve as the basis for the conviction on Count I. 25 We review Ms. Boguille's claim challenging the sufficiency of the evidence under the same deferential standard discussed above, and hold that the government presented sufficient evidence from which a rational jury could have found Ms. Boguille guilty of the conspiracy charge. Even if we accept Ms. Boguille's claim that the primary witness against her was impeached, the record does not show an absence of evidence on which to rest the jury's verdict. For example, Tosha Woods testified that, on one occasion, she and Ms. Boguille counted out cash in the bedroom of the home shared by Ms. Boguille and Mr. Banks. At Ms. Boguille's direction, Woods took money out of a plastic shopping bag and counted it into $100 stacks, which were then bound with rubber bands. Recorded telephone conversations also revealed Ms. Boguille's involvement in the conspiracy's operation. She was recorded while she checked on cooling crack cocaine for Mr. Banks and while she counted out thousand dollar stacks of money for him; she reported to Mr. Banks the circumstances surrounding Mr. Mills' arrest and that he had candy with him during the chase; and on one occasion she picked up $20,000 for Mr. Banks. We hold that this evidence is sufficient to sustain the jury's verdict on this count.
