United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit.

Decided March 29, 1982.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John D. Lynch, Warwick, R. I., and William A. Dimitri, Jr., Providence, R. I., for appellants.

Peter C. Canfield, Atty. Dept. of Justice, with whom Wm. Bradford Reynolds, Asst. Atty. Gen. and Walter W. Barnett, Atty., Dept. of Justice, Washington, D. C., were on brief, for appellee.

Before CAMPBELL and BREYER, Circuit Judges, and GARRITY, District Judge.


GARRITY, District Judge.

The sole issue raised by this appeal is whether there was sufficient evidence to sustain the judgments of conviction of the trial court. In January of 1981, Francis J. McQueeney and Richard R. Patterson, undercover policemen with the Providence Police Department, were indicted by a federal grand jury in the District of Rhode Island on five counts, each of which charged both of them with violating 18 U.S.C. §§ 2 and 242.
