 96-5236 -- U.S. v. Cole -- 09/22/1997
During the next few weeks, Cole told Akee that he had been in prison for drug violations, that "they had made him work when he was there," and that he "never wanted to work another day in his life." R. Vol.
When Akee was unable to dissuade Cole from his scheme, she called the DEA to report his plans.
Especially in light of Cole's insistence that Akee induced him to sell the PCP, we conclude that the evidence of Cole's contemporaneous conversations regarding his plans and activities was not only naturally related to the crime charged, but also provided its structure and context and was essential to a full presentation and proof.
