Description
BAILEY BROWN, Senior Circuit Judge. The three defendants in this case, Antoine Segines ("Segines"), Michael Alston ("Alston"), and Adrian Ayers ("Ayers"), were convicted by jury verdict on charges of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846; of distributing cocaine base, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1); and of committing these acts within 100 feet of a video arcade, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 860(a). Ayers was sentenced to incarceration for a period of 400 months, Segines received a sentence of 292 months and Ayers received 262 months. The appellants claim errors in the trial, properly preserved for appeal. They also contend that statements made by the trial Judge had such a "chilling effect" upon defense counsel that they constituted "plain error," denying their right to a fair trial.*fn1
