Description
Raymond May appeals his convictions for delivery of methamphetamine (3 counts), for possession of amphetamine, and for unlawful possession of a firearm. He contends the court erred when it permitted witnesses to testify about what a woman who lived with him told them about his alleged involvement in drug dealing. According to Mr. May, ER 801(d)(2)(v), which provides that statements by co-conspirators are not hearsay, does not apply here because the State did not prove that he and the woman conspired to sell drugs. Mr. May also assigns error to the court's refusal to give his proposed jury instruction that unwitting possession is a defense against the charge of unlawful possession of a firearm. Mr. May argues that the absence of such an instruction allowed the jury to convict him on this charge without considering evidence that he did not know the gun was in his residence. We affirm Mr. May's convictions for delivery and possession of drugs, but reverse his conviction for unlawful possession of a firearm.
