Description
[36 NCApp Page 139] Several of defendant's assignments of error are directed to the sufficiency of the evidence. To justify the conviction of defendant as an accessory before the fact, the jury must find that he aided or advised the parties who committed the offense, that he was not present when the offense was committed, and that the principal did commit the offense. State v. Sauls, 291 N.C. 253, 230 S.E.2d 390 (1976), cert. den., 431 U.S. 916, 97 S. Ct. 2178, 53 L. Ed. 2d 226 (1977); State v. Bass, 255 N.C. 42, 120 S.E.2d 580 (1961). Venecia Crews admitted that she sold marijuana. All the witnesses agreed that defendant was not present when the sale was made. Defendant testified that, I sent Venecia up there to see if I could get Mrs. Freeman to buy anything, actually buy some grass or pot. This evidence was sufficient to present to the jury.
