Salomon R. Sandez v. United States America

Defendant Sandez was one of six defendants charged with conspiring to bring narcotic drugs into the United States (Count 10). He was charged with two substantive counts relating to the importation (Count 8) and transportation (Count 9) of narcotics. Five of the six defendants were convicted; one (Golden Elliott) was acquitted by the court, upon motion of her counsel, after the jury had difficulty in coming to a decision as to her guilt or innocence. Sandez was convicted on three counts (Counts 8, 9, and 10); defendant Flores of two. (Counts 9 and 10.)
