People v. Skaar
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
1Opinion of the Court
—Yesawich Jr., J.
After a jury trial at which testimony was elicited showing that defendant sold cocaine to an undercover police officer on two occasions in December 1992, defendant was convicted of two counts of criminal sale of a controlled substance. Sentenced, as a second felony offender, to concurrent prison terms of 10 to 20 years, defendant appeals. His primary contention is that County Court erred in failing to give a missing witness charge with respect to a confidential informant who was present during each of the subject transactions, but was not called to testify.
