OPINION
BILL VANCE, Justice.
A jury convicted Ladon King of possession with intent to deliver cocaine, four grams or more but less than 200 grams. Tex. Health & Safety Code ANN. § 481.112(d) (Vernon 2003). The trial court assessed punishment at life in prison. On appeal, King complains about (1) a Batson violation, (2) a police officer testifying as an expert about the sale and distribution of cocaine, and (3) the legal sufficiency of the evidence. We will affirm the judgment.
