JOHNSON v. COM.

Record No. 1718-89-2.

402 S.E.2d 502 (1991)

Earl JOHNSON, s/k/a Earl Leon Johnson v. COMMONWEALTH of Virginia.

Court of Appeals of Virginia.

March 26, 1991.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Charles C. Cosby, Jr. (Boone, Beale, Carpenter & Cosby, on brief), for appellant.

Marla Lynn Graff, Asst. Atty. Gen. (Mary Sue Terry, Atty. Gen., on brief), for appellee.

Present: BAKER, MOON and WILLIS, JJ.


MOON, Judge.

Earl Johnson seeks reversal of his conviction for possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute. He alleges that the evidence was insufficient to prove that he possessed the drugs found by police officers. We disagree and affirm.

When the sufficiency of the evidence is challenged on appeal we must construe the evidence in the light most favorable to the Commonwealth granting to it all reasonable inferences fairly deducible therefrom.
