Heading: sufficiency of the evidence

Text: 9 Defendant argues that the prosecution did not present sufficient proof to support his conviction. With respect to the conspiracy charge, he contends that the only direct evidence provided at trial came from the testimony of two co-conspirators who cooperated with the government. According to defendant, this cooperation casts doubt on Glynn's and Krupinski's credibility. Defendant also notes that a search of his residence found no drugs or other indicia of drug trafficking. 10 As the above discussion of the facts makes clear, the testimony of Glynn and Krupinski, when coupled with the tape recordings of the wiretapped conversations, constitutes sufficient evidence to support Defendant's section 846 conviction. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 319 (1979); United States v. Christian, 786 F.2d 203, 211 (6th Cir.1986). Glynn and Krupinski's credibility is a matter for the jury, which obviously found against defendant on this issue. 11 As for the three section 843(b) counts, the telephone conversations intercepted through the wiretap clearly fulfill the requirements for unlawful use of a communication facility. See 21 U.S.C. Sec. 843(b).
