Description
GROSSE, J. -- Vicente Cruz appeals his conviction of one count of delivery of heroin. On appeal, he claims the trial court erred by (1) permitting a detective, who was not involved in Cruz's case, to testify about heroin users, heroin transactions, and the Seattle heroin market; and (2) admitting evidence of the drug paraphernalia found in the middle man's apartment and evidence of prior controlled buys between the informant and the middle man in which Cruz was not involved. In a pro se brief, he contends his counsel's lack of preparation and her failure to investigate and establish a defense deprived him of effective assistance of counsel. We affirm.
