That testimony, coupled with the circumstantial evidence, constituted sufficient evidence to support the verdict on the conspiracy charge. The evidence was also sufficient for a rational juror to believe that the defendants had at least constructive possession of at least 500 grams of methamphetamine. See United States v. Ramos-Rascon, 8 F.3d 704, 711-12 (9th Cir.1993) (explaining joint venture liability).
