Best Lawyers in Chandigarh The First Circuit affirmed Defendant's conviction for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute heroin, entered pursuant to a guilty plea, holding that the district court did not err in accepting Defendant's plea. On appeal, Defendant argued that the district court failed to determine that there was a factual basis for his guilty plea, as required by Fed. R. Crim. P. 11(b)(3). The First Circuit disagreed, holding that Defendant's admission to participating in a conspiracy that involved at least one other person provided a reasoned basis to believe that he was guilty of conspiracy and that Defendant could not show that the district court's acceptance of his plea prejudiced him.
