Rodney Backous testified that he had known Norman since at least 1982, and that Norman had been involved in the distribution of controlled substances since Backous met him. As to his sentence, Norman argues that the district court used the wrong version of the United States Sentencing Guidelines, erred by enhancing his sentence under the theory that he supervised five or more people, and erred in its drug quantity determination. Norman contends that his convictions cannot stand because: 1) the indictment was unconstitutionally vague as to the continuing criminal enterprise and conspiracy charges 2) there was a variance in the proof and insufficient evidence to support convictions for the continuing criminal enterprise and conspiracy charges 3) the district court erred in its response to a jury question 4) the jury instruction for the continuing criminal enterprise charge was improper 5) the charges for using firearms in furtherance of the conspiracy improperly charged multiple offenses, charged continuing offenses, and violated the Ex Post Facto Clause 6) his conviction for using a firearm in furtherance of the conspiracy was for conduct beyond the statute of limitations and 7) his conviction for using a firearm in furtherance of the conspiracy was not supported by sufficient evidence. On appeal, the defendants make myriad arguments relating to their convictions and sentences. Schoenauer was then tried separately and found guilty of three counts of unlawful possession of a firearm.
