Among many:
People v Ortiz, 76 N.Y.2d 446 (1990); People v Feldman, 50 N.Y.2d 500
(1980); People v Herring, 83 N.Y.2d 780(1994)
Also look at the New York State CJI charge on "agency." Do you know
what the agency defense is? It is an affirmative defense to a charge of
selling drugs that you were buying them or acting on behalf of the buyer
rather than the seller. The charge itself states "Under our law, a
person is not guilty of selling a controlled substance [marihuana] [or
of possessing a controlled substance (marihuana) with the intent to sell
it] if he/she was acting as the [buyer]."
Could it be any clearer? |
