Jury finds Mark Mayo guilty in meth conspiracy case
The jury also determined that 50 grams of the drug well over an ounce was involved.
The trial involved lengthy testimony from U.S. Postal Inspector Richard Tracy about events of May 10, 2018.
That is when Tracy and other federal and local officials kept watch over who would pick up an intercepted package, which originally arrived on Guam in April of that year, filled with drugs.
The law enforcement personnel removed the drugs, substituted a tracking device and fake drugs, and waited.
Much of the evidence presented involved text and other messages between the alleged conspirators as they sought to track and pick up the package.

Chief Judge Frances Tydingco-Gatewood and a U.S. District Court jury continued hearing the methamphetamine conspiracy case against Mark Mayo Tuesday morning, continuing with lengthy testimony from U.S. Postal Inspector Richard Tracy about the events of May 10, 2018.
Rawlen Mantanona, Mayo s defense attorney, continued to pursue his line of questioning based on cell phone and social media records, emphasizing that his client had little or nothing to do with an effort to retrieve a package that originally contained methamphetamine from off-island.
When the package arrived in April 2018, it was intercepted by law enforcement, the drugs removed for testing and a tracking device installed. Surveillance began to see who picked it up.
