Is there any evidence supporting a conviction for possession of drugs for sale?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Hill, C060982 (Cal. App. 3/11/2010), C060982. (Cal. App. 2010):

Defendant also points out that there was no testimony about the strength of the tablets. Generally, "The chemical analysis of the material possessed need only establish the existence of a controlled substance. A quantitative analysis establishing the purity of the controlled substance is not required." (People v. Rubacalba (1993) 6 Cal.4th 62, 65.) The fact the record does not show whether or not defendant had a good product does not tend to show simple possession, rather than possession for sale.

Accordingly, we conclude substantial evidence supports the conviction for possession of narcotics for purposes of sale.
