What is the evidence available to the sentencing judge for possession of methamphetamine with a street value of at least 9.52 KG?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Shope, 911 F.2d 740 (9th Cir. 1990):

Evidence available to the sentencing judge strongly supports his determination that Shope possessed at least 9.52 KG of methamphetamine. Police found about 20 pounds of methamphetamine in a safe to which only Shope had access. This evidence would convince a reasonable person that the drugs in the safe and the drugs involved in Shope's conviction were part of a common scheme by Shope to sell methamphetamine. See United States v. Restrepo, slip op. at 4505 (relevant conduct must be proven by a preponderance of the evidence, "a sufficient weight of evidence to convince a reasonable person").
