Description
REAVLEY, Circuit Judge: Anthony Viera and Ernest King were charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine and with actual distribution of cocaine. King took a plea agreement and testified against Viera at his trial. Viera appeals his conviction, complaining of restriction upon his impeachment of King, allowing proof of prior cocaine deals by King acting with Viera, the intimidation of a prospective witness, and the prosecutor's argument commenting upon the failure of that witness to testify. We affirm.
