Delivery of a Controlled Substance
An undercover purchased commercially packaged products from smoke shop owned by Defendant. Lab results revealed that products contained lab-manufactured synthetic cannabinoids. Defendant appealed his convictions of delivery of a controlled substance and unlawful possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance. Rational inference to ble drawn from all evidence was that Defendant knew that he possessed and sold products containing illegal substances. A rational fact finder could determine that the State met its burden of proof that the Defendant knew that the substance was illegal. (HUTCHINSON and JORGENSEN, concurring.)
