LUMBARD, Circuit Judge,
concurring in part and dissenting in part:
I concur in the affirmance of Perrone’s convictions and in the remand to the district court for resentencing.
I dissent from the reversal of Gomez’s convictions. Based on the proof before the jury, as is fully set forth in the majority opinion, I believe there was sufficient evidence to support Gomez’s convictions. We must remember that the jury heard the witnesses’ testimony and listened to defense counsel’s attempt to explain the part Gomez played in the offense. Obviously, the jury was not persuaded; it did not believe that Gomez had no guilty knowledge of what was being done. This verdict is supported by the evidence.
