Randall v. State
Randall v. State
Opinion of the Court
Tlacey Randall was found guilty by a jury of possession of marijuana and possession of cocaine (as a lesser-included offense of trafficking cocaine), and acquitted of possession of drug paraphernalia. The trial court sentenced Randall to the maximum sentence of five years in prison for possessing cocaine. Under the facts presented, we agree with Randall that the trial court sentenced him improperly, by relying partly on the premise that he was trafficking cocaine at the time of the offense, a charge for which he had been acquitted. See Drinkard v. State ,
Wolf, Winokur, and Jay, JJ., concur.
