Banton v. State
Supreme Court of Maryland
Banton v. State, 232 Md. 328 (Md. 1963)
193 A.2d 46; 1963 Md. LEXIS 695
Banton v. State
Opinion of the Court
The appellant was convicted of having possession and control of narcotics under circumstances almost exactly similar to those present in Stewart v. State, just decided, 232 Md. 318. As in Stewart, the appellant contends that the evidence showed that, as a matter of law, he had been entrapped, and that he was only an agent of the police officer for whom he procured the narcotics, so that his possession and control were those of the police officer.
Judgment affirmed.
