People v. Tilley

Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of participation in methamphetamine manufacturing. State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that substance weighed more than 100 grams. Chunky black and white powder found in gift bag in Defendant's bedroom, a mixture of different chemicals created by Defendant's husband and with Defendant's participation in manufacture of methamphetamine, constituted a single substance within meaning of statute. Powder's components remained blended together when the powder was found, and powder was found in a single container. Substance was permissibly weighed and tested in the state in which it was found, and was a "substance containing methamphetamine". (TURNER and STEIGMANN, concurring.)
