Description

This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction for the sale of counterfeit drugs (cocaine), a third degree felony,1{/Cite} and sentence as an habitual offender to eight years in prison. Appellant contends the trial court erred in denying his motion for judgment of acquittal, and in not charging a requested continuance to the state. We affirm. Viewing the evidence and all reasonable inferences in a light most favorable to the state, there was sufficient evidence to permit the jury to find beyond a reasonable doubt that appellant was guilty of the sale of counterfeit drugs (counterfeit cocaine). The state presented evidence of a controlled drug purchase. Detective Wester testified that based on her experience as a narcotics investigator, she believed from its appearance that the substance being sold to her was crack cocaine. Detective Varner further testified that appellant said upon arrest that the substance was not real but was ""wobble lob,"" which the detective indicated was a slang term for fake crack. The detective also indicated that appellant told him the ingredients were written down in his book. Detective Varner testified that based on his training and experience he could identify the ingredients listed in the book found in appellant's possession as those used in making fake crack cocaine. Based on the evidence presented, we affirm the trial court's order denying appellant's motion for judgment of acquittal.
