Description
[76 N.Y.2d 140 Page 142] Opinion OF THE COURT Defendant Murray Kaplan was convicted of first degree criminal sale of a controlled substance (Penal
Law § 220.43) because of his involvement in a narcotics network which operated out of a garment business office located in
the Empire State Building. His primary contention on appeal is that although the culpable state required for the commission
of this crime is "knowledge," the trial court should have instructed the jury that defendant could not be held liable as an
accomplice unless he acted with the specific intent to sell a controlled substance. We conclude that such an instruction is
not required and that, accordingly, the conviction should be affirmed.
