Barlow v. Commonwealth

COLEMAN, Judge.

Lawrence Barlow appeals his bench trial conviction for possession of heroin with intent to distribute. He contends the trial court erred (1) by admitting irrelevant evidence of statements he made to police regarding his prior drug use and dealings; (2) by rejecting his accommodation defense; (3) by permitting the Commonwealth during the sentencing phase to refer to the length of the penitentiary sentences imposed on codefendants, and (4) that the evidence was insufficient to prove that he intended to distribute heroin. Upon review, we affirm the conviction.
