Conviction for a single delivery of crack cocaine is vacated

US v. Simpson, No. 05-2993 (7th Cir. March 13, 2007)
Conviction for a single delivery of crack cocaine is vacated and remanded for a new trial where portions of the prosecution's closing argument, and the evidence on which it was based, improperly appealed to defendant's propensity to deal in crack cocaine.
