, Court of Appeals , COA22-832 (Judge Jeff Carpenter) , Unpublished
State v. Abee

Defendant appeals from judgment after a jury convicted him of conspiracy to sell and possession of narcotics. On appeal, Defendant argues the trial court erred by: (1) denying Defendant’s motion to dismiss the charges of conspiracy to sell narcotics and possession of narcotics; and (2) not intervening ex mero motu during the State’s cross-examination of Defendant. After careful review, we discern no error.
