Commonwealth v. Anderson
Superior Court of Pennsylvania
1Opinion of the Court
HOFFMAN, Judge:
Appellant contends that the evidence adduced at trial was insufficient to prove him guilty of violating the Controlled Substance, Drug, Device, and Cosmetic Act (the “Drug Act”) 1 and criminal conspiracy. 2 Specifically, appellant contends that (1) the testimony of the arresting officer who bought heroin from him was insufficient to establish his identity and (2) there was no evidence showing that appellant conspired with his wife to sell the heroin. We find the evidence insufficient to convict appellant of conspiracy and, accordingly, vacate and remand for resentencing.
