BAKES, Justice
(concurring specially):
There is sufficient albeit marginal evidence in the record to distinguish this case from State v. O’Mealey, 95 Idaho 202, 506 P.2d 99 (1973). However, most of it was elicited by the defendant’s counsel in cross-examination of state witnesses and in direct examination of the defendant himself. But for that, there would have been insufficient evidence to establish an intent to deliver and this case would have been controlled by our decision in State v. O’Mealey, supra. On appeal, the issue of adequacy of representation at trial has not been raised by the defendant and therefore that issue will be deferred until subsequent proceedings, if they come.
