People v. Garcia

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Dec 2, 1975
50 A.D.2d 730 (N.Y. App. Div. 1975)

Opinion

December 2, 1975


Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County, rendered July 23, 1974, unanimously modified, on the law, to reverse the conviction of the crimes of possession with intent to sell, and sale of a controlled substance, and remanding the counts therefor for trial anew, and otherwise affirmed. The District Attorney concedes error in refusal to charge on the question of agency in purchase of a controlled substance by one person, here an undercover police officer, for another. A new trial on the counts involving sale and intent to sell is therefore required. The conviction of possession of a controlled substance will remain undisturbed.
