State of Maine v. Pedro J. Rosario

Summary

The court affirmed Rosario’s conviction and sentence, concluding that law enforcement had probable cause to stop the vehicle and arrest its occupants based on monitored drug-sale communications, GPS data, vehicle characteristics, and Rosario’s identification. The court also upheld the trial court’s handling of witness sequestration, jury instructions, and sentencing. The court rejected Rosario’s claims that the possession and unanimity instructions were erroneous and that the sentence was illegal.
