Heading: Counts 2, 9 & 10Felonious Constructive Delivery

Text: Under counts 2, 9 and 10, each charging a felonious constructive delivery of a controlled substance, the State's theory was that the appellant issued purported prescriptions for Tylox intentionally or knowingly without a legitimate dental purpose, but, instead, only to satisfy the desire of the patient for the Tylox, and the patient picked up the Tylox at a drugstore pursuant to such prescriptions. Counts 2 and 9 involved patient Frank Gentry and transactions on December 23, 1986 and November 5, 1986, respectively. Count 10 involved patient Roger Jones and a transaction on December 15, 1986. In addition to these transactions, the appellant engaged in similar transactions with Messrs. Gentry and Jones, during this same period of time, for which the appellant was not indicted but which are important to show the appellant's knowledge and intent in issuing the prescriptions for which the appellant was charged in counts 2, 9 and 10. The evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the State, indicates the following.
