Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York March 13, 1978 (People v. Copeland)

Appeal by defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County, rendered May 26, 1976, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the first degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence. Judgment reversed, on the law, and new trial ordered. During its deliberations, the jury informed the court that it was hopelessly deadlocked at eleven to one.
