The tractor-trailer containing the marijuana arrived
in the Kalamazoo area on or about August 15, 1983. On the
same day, petitioner and several coconspirators, including
Messrs. Lubiejewski and Nelson, traveled to Kalamazoo on a
private jet to supervise and assist in unloading and
weighing the marijuana and to receive payment of a portion
of the purchase price from Mr. Erickson. Another of
petitioner's coconspirators, Mr. Bonalewicz, unloaded the
tractor-trailer and placed the marijuana on scales so that
it could be weighed. Mr. Nelson personally observed all of
the marijuana as it was unloaded. He recorded the weight
of each bale and the total number of bales unloaded in a
notebook which he maintained on petitioner's behalf.
Mr. Erickson purchased at least 37,000 pounds of the
marijuana that was shipped to the Kalamazoo area. That
amount was the gross weight of the marijuana as shipped
and included approximately 5,000 pounds of wrapping and
packaging material. Mr. Erickson later returned
approximately 7,000 pounds of the marijuana because it
was wet and unmarketable.
Petitioner and Messrs. Lubiejewski, Nelson, and
Bonalewicz and several other individuals involved in
the conspiracy remained in Michigan for a short period
