Description
At a joint trial before a jury John Jerkins was convicted of three counts of selling heroin to government undercover agents and Annette Graham was convicted of aiding and abetting these sales, all in violation of 26 U.S.C. § 4705(a). The three heroin sales were alleged to have taken place on November 16, 1970, on November 24, 1970, and on January 2, 1971. Both appellants contend that the government failed to prove that the substance sold on November 16th was in fact heroin; that the heroin sold on November 24th was improperly introduced into evidence; and that the district court committed error by allowing the government to introduce a report that the substance sold on January 2, 1971, was heroin instead of requiring the introduction of the heroin itself. Appellant Graham contends individually that the district court erroneously denied her motion for severance and that the evidence was insufficient to sustain her conviction. We agree with appellants contention that the material sold on November 16, 1970, was not proved to be heroin, but we hold that the other contentions are without merit.
