Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION PRESENTED FOR REVIEW Question I. Shouldn’t a judgment of acquittal have been granted where the government failed to prove that Hamm, arrested on August 25, 2016, in jail in an all-male facility and helping the police capture the supplier of the toxic carfentanil, somehow on August 27, 2017 distributed carfentanil that resulted in serious bodily injury of female inmates A.P., B.S.H. and L.S.W. supplied by Tracy Myers (Count 3) where he had withdrawn from any conspiracy and was actively aiding law enforcement to stop further distribution of toxic product? Question II. Was it error to deny Hamm credit for acceptance of responsibility where he admitted his misconduct and cooperated with law enforcement to stop further distribution of the dangerous substance, including making a monitored meeting with the supplier of the carfentanyllaced contraband?
