Description
On February 15, 2001, Appellee, Lorrie Mitchell, sold six Oxycontin pills to police informant Kevin Bowling. Mitchell was thereafter indicted by a Floyd County Grand Jury on one count of first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (Oxycontin). At trial, the Commonwealth played for the jury an audio recording of the undercover drug buy. In addition, Kentucky State Police Detective Randy Hunter, who was in charge of the investigation and who coordinated the undercover buy between Bowling and Mitchell, testified about the transaction, as well as about the effects of Oxycontin. The defense did not present any evidence, choosing instead to attack the quality of the audiotape and Bowlings credibility as a paid informant and former drug user. The jury returned a verdict of guilt and, pursuant to an agreement with the Commonwealth, Mitchell was sentenced to seven and a half years imprisonment.
