Description
Appellant Rodolfo Ricardo Villarreal ("Villarreal") and several others were charged in a multi-count indictment with various drug offenses. Villarreal was named as a defendant in two counts of the indictment. In the first count, he was charged with conspiracy to distribute and to possess with intent to distribute more than 1000 kilograms of marihuana in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846. In the third count, he was charged with the substantive offense of knowingly possessing more than 100 kilograms of marihuana with intent to distribute it in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). Villarreal went to trial on his plea of not guilty. On January 12, 2001, the jury returned a verdict, finding Villarreal not guilty of conspiracy, but guilty of the substantive offense of possession of marihuana with intent to distribute it.
