Williams, J.
(concurring)—I agree with the majority that the evidence does not support a reasonable inference that the lesser crime was committed. See State v. Pacheco, 107 Wn.2d 59, 69, 726 P.2d 981 (1986). From the evidence presented, no reasonable jury could have believed Rodriguez possessed marijuana but did not deliver it to Officer Maser. Such a scenario is simply incredible.
A contrary result in this case could only be achieved by abandoning the factual part of the test set forth in State v. Workman, 90 Wn.2d 443, 584 P.2d 382 (1978), a change in the law which this court is not authorized to make. See State v. Gore, 101 Wn.2d 481, 487, 681 P.2d 227 (1984).
Review denied by Supreme Court December 2,1987.
