Criminal law -- Trafficking in cocaine -- Conspiracy -- Constructive possession -- Evidence was insufficient to establish that defendant possessed amount of cocaine sufficient to support trafficking charge:
Defendant's statements that he cooked and sold unknown quantity of cocaine at an unknown time and that he had sold large quantities of drugs in the past were not sufficient to establish actual or constructive possession of large quantity of cocaine found in coconspirator's apartment -- Remand for resentencing on conspiracy conviction using corrected scoresheet -- Jurors -- Trial court did not reversibly err by removing African-American juror and substituting an alternate juror after it was discovered during trial that juror failed to disclose during voir dire that he knew defendant and a coconspirator, who was key witness at trial
