The conviction and sentence were upheld because the jury could lawfully convict on constructive possession if they believed the accomplice's evidence that the defendant instructed her to collect a parcel known by him to contain drugs; the impugned directions and evidence did not cause unfairness or mislead the jury; and the sentence of 17 years was within the applicable guideline range for the quantity of cocaine involved.
