Description

The defendant was found guilty by a jury, in the circuit court of Cook County, of the unlawful possession of narcotics (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1967, ch. 38, par. 22-3), and was sentenced to a prison term of not less than 5 nor more than 9 years. On appeal, he contends: (1) there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction, and the court erred in the admission of evidence; (2) the evidence was insufficient to prove the elements of knowledge, intent and sanity because the state failed to rebut the defendant's testimony as to addiction and its effects, and that he was improperly denied expert medical testimony as to the effect of narcotic addiction on his ability to knowingly possess narcotics; (3) the search was invalid in that it was too broad and was issued on the complaint of an affiant under a fictitious name; (4) he was denied the right to have the jury instructed in this regard; and (5) the sentence was excessive.
