Is a minor or minimal participant in a criminal offence considered to be a possession of a small amount of marijuana?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Villafana-Sanchez, 923 F.2d 864 (9th Cir. 1991):
The district court found that 101 pounds of marijuana was not a "small amount" within the meaning of this illustration and therefore declined to grant appellant the additional two-point reduction for minimal participation. We review for clear error the district court's determination of whether a defendant is a minor or minimal participant in a criminal offense under the particular facts of the offense. United States v. Zweber, 913 F.2d 705, 708 (9th Cir.1990).
