STATE of Louisiana v. Antonio R. JOHNSON, aka Rico Johnson.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Fourth Circuit.

July 15, 1993.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Harry F. Connick, Dist. Atty. of Orleans Parish, Val M. Solino, Asst. Dist. Atty. of Orleans Parish, New Orleans, for State of Louisiana.

Dwight Doskey, Orleans Indigent Defender Program, New Orleans, for defendant.

Before PLOTKIN, JONES and LANDRIEU, JJ.


PLOTKIN, Judge.

Defendant, Antonio R. Johnson, aka Rico Johnson was charged with one count of possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute. A jury found him guilty as charged. He was sentenced to seven years at hard labor.

The single issue raised in this appeal is that the evidence is insufficient to convict him for possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, but is sufficient for a lesser responsive verdict of simple possession of cocaine.
