Is there any case law in which a defendant was convicted of possession of cocaine base for sale?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Fails, B205194 (Cal. App. 12/22/2008), B205194 (Cal. App. 2008):

Fails contends his conviction for possession of cocaine base for sale should be reversed as insufficient evidence supports his conviction. Fails contends all elements of the crime are lacking sufficiency that he did not possess it, have knowledge of its presence or narcotic character and did not have the intent to sell it. (See People v. Meza (1995) 38 Cal.App.4th 1741, 1745-1746.) Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the judgment, as we must (People v. Mincey (1992) 2 Cal.4th 408, 432), we find his contention lacks merit.
