Description

The amended information upon which this case went to trial alleged that defendant distributed to Deanna Sue Warren a quantity of Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD). The act alleged constitutes a violation of § 195.020 RSMo. 1969, and since Deanna Warren was a minor, the penalty range under § 195.200(4) was imprisonment for a term of from five years to life. Trial to a jury resulted in conviction and sentence of eighteen years. The issues on this appeal are: (1) whether the evidence was sufficient to support the verdict; (2) whether a new trial should have been granted because of certain recanted testimony; and (3) whether the State's chemist was properly permitted to testify as to the effect of LSD on the human body.
