Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. Officer witnessed Defendant give a man cash after eight hand-to-hand transactions, and officer later found Defendant in possession of 11 individually packaged capsules of heroin. Jury could have reasonably found that drugs Defendant possessed on arrest were not a separate supply, and that he intended to deliver remaining heroin capsules. (NEVILLE and MASON, concurring.)
