MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Wagers, 94 F.3d 654 (9th Cir. 1996):
The elements of possession with intent to distribute cocaine are: (1) the defendant possessed cocaine; (2) the defendant knew it was cocaine; and (3) the defendant intended to distribute the cocaine. See United States v. Castillo, 866 F.2d 1071, 1086 (9th Cir.1988). The government's recitation of the facts sufficiently established a factual basis for all three elements.
