Description
In each of these appeals from jury convictions for delivery of cocaine, we must determine whether confirmatory testing of a composite sample of the delivered substances, which individually had presumptively tested positive for cocaine, provided legally and factually sufficient evidence to prove delivery of the requisite amount. We must also determine whether the evidence is legally and factually sufficient to support the jurys implicit rejection of defensive claims of duress and entrapment. Based on the record before us, we conclude the composite sampling in these cases provided legally and factually sufficient evidence to prove delivery of the requisite amount. We also conclude the evidence is legally and factually sufficient to support the rejection of the defensive claims. We modify the judgments to reflect the proper punishment range and delete recitations that the right of appeal was waived. As modified, we affirm the trial courts judgments.
