State v. Knapstad

Douglas W. Knapstad was charged by information with possession of a controlled substance with intent to manufacture and deliver. The State sought to prove the crime by establishing constructive possession by Knapstad of the premises where the marijuana was seized. The seizure was the result of execution of a valid search warrant. An informant had supplied information which formed the basis for probable cause for the search warrant. The State decided not to call this informant as a witness and decided not to disclose the name and address of the informant to the defense.
