Heading: Factor (c)Manufacture of controlled substances for use by other parties

Text: The court of appeals held that the record supported a finding of factor (c), the manufacture of controlled substances for use by other parties. The court based its conclusion on evidence that appellant manufactured the powder cocaine he purchased by cooking it to make crack cocaine and presumably based on Jeremy Wiley's testimony that he and appellant went to Chicago to procure powder cocaine and then cooked it to make crack cocaine. No particular sale of the manufactured crack cocaine was identified however, and there was no evidence that the crack cocaine sold on December 7 was manufactured by appellant. Wiley's testimony relating to processing powder cocaine is insufficient to meet the threshold of factor (c) without further evidence establishing that the December 7 sale involved the manufacture of controlled substances for use by others. We find none and therefore conclude that the record fails to establish the presence of factor (c) in the December 7 drug transaction.
