Docket entry
210027 Commonwealth v. Richard 12/29/2021 In a case involving distribution of methamphetamine, the circuit court did not abuse its discretion in denying the defendant's proffered jury instructions regarding a "single buyer/seller relationship" -- as an exception to potential conspiracy liability -- because there is not more than a scintilla of evidence to support the circuit court giving such instructions. Therefore, the Court of Appeals erred in reversing the defendant's conviction for conspiracy. The judgment of the Court of Appeals is reversed and the defendant's conviction for conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance is reinstated.
