Description
Jametric Miller ("Defendant") was charged by amended information with the class B felony of possession of cocaine base, a controlled substance, with intent to distribute in violation of section 195.211. A jury found Defendant guilty of this offense. Because he was a persistent misdemeanor offender, the trial court determined punishment and sentenced Defendant to a term of ten years imprisonment. See section 558.016; section 557.036.4(2). This appeal presents a single point for our determination. Defendant contends the trial court committed plain error in two respects: (1) admitting Defendants statements concerning his intent to sell cocaine base ("crack"); and (2) overruling Defendants motion for judgment of acquittal at the close of all of the evidence. The basis for this contention is that the State failed to present independent proof to establish the corpus delicti of possession of a controlled substance with the intent to distribute. We affirm.
