State v. Holbrook

Defendant was charged with unlawful sale of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell, Minn. St. 152.09, subd. 1(1), and a jury found him guilty of the charge of unlawful possession with intent to sell. Defendant, who is on parole from a maximum indeterminate term of 5 years’ imprisonment, contends upon this appeal from judgment of conviction and denial of post-trial motion that (1) there was insufficient evidence of possession with intent to sell, and (2) admission of evidence of his prior imprisonment deprived him of a fair trial. We affirm.
