1Opinion of the Court
Banke, Judge.
The appellant was convicted of two counts of selling cocaine in violation of the Controlled Substances Act. He alleges on appeal that he was denied his Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial.
1. The verdict was supported by the evidence. The credibility of the witnesses was for the jury to determine. See Code§ 38-1805; Largin v. State, 77 Ga. App. 111, 118 (47 SE2d 895) (1948). The defendant’s claim that he made a prima facie showing of entrapment is without merit, since he denied having committed any criminal act. See Reed v. State, 130 Ga. App. 659 (1), 661 (204 SE2d 335)…
