United States v. Reggie Isaac

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
United States v. Reggie Isaac, 466 F.2d 502 (5th Cir. 1972)
1972 U.S. App. LEXIS 7423

United States v. Reggie Isaac

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The appellant Isaac was found guilty by a jury of knowingly and intentionally distributing approximately 11.65 grams of heroin in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841 (a)(1). He contends that the judgment of conviction should be reversed because he was entrapped by undercover agents and would not have sold or distributed the heroin except for such entrapment. We affirm.

The evidence with respect to the issue of entrapment was fully developed during the course of the trial and was submitted to the jury under proper instructions of the court. There was ample evidence to support the verdict and judgment of guilt. See Sorrells v. United States, 287 U.S. 435, 53 S.Ct. 210, 77 L.Ed. 413 (1932); United States v. Villafana, 455 F.2d 478 (5th Cir. 1972); United States v. Virciglio, 441 F.2d 1295 (5th Cir. 1971); Pierce v. United States, 414 F.2d 163 (5th Cir. 1969).

Judgment affirmed.
