What is the test for possession with intent to distribute cocaine?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Demers, 992 F.2d 1220 (9th Cir. 1993):
In order to prove possession with intent to distribute cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. 841(a), the government must establish that the defendant (1) knowingly, (2) possessed cocaine, (3) with an intent to distribute it. United States v. Ocampo, 937 F.2d 485, 488 (9th Cir.1991). Demers concedes that she knowingly possessed cocaine. However, she contends the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to demonstrate an intent to distribute.
