Hinnant v. United States

TERRY, Associate Judge:

After a jury trial, appellant was convicted of possession of heroin with intent to distribute it, carrying a pistol without a license, possession of an unregistered firearm, and possession of unregistered ammunition. 1 Appellant contends that the trial court erred in admitting expert testimony on heroin dealing, in denying his motion for judgment of acquittal, and in giving a missing witness instruction.
