Hill v. State

I would affirm the convictions without modification. I believe that the evidence of the sale of Phentermine was admissible in the cocaine trial, and that of the sale of cocaine in the Phentermine trial. See Lew*1079is v. State, Okl.Cr., 528 P.2d 741 (1974) and Bradley v. State, Okl.Cr., 485 P.2d 767 (1971). The better practice would have been to charge the defendant by separate counts in a single information in the manner suggested by Judge Brett in his concurring opinion in Dodson v. State, Okl.Cr., 562 P.2d 916 (1977), or to join the separate informations for a single trial.
