Terry v. State

Sognier, Judge.

Odis Terry and Gregory H. Powell were tried jointly on charges of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. The arresting officer, Sergeant Joe Smith, testified at trial that he came upon Terry and Powell sitting hunched over in the front seat of a parked car. Upon observing in plain view two small white rocks, which he believed to be rock cocaine, and certain paraphernalia he knew was used with rock cocaine, Smith arrested both men. Terry was convicted of possession with intent to distribute while Powell was convicted of possession, and Terry filed this appeal.
