A Cobb County jury found Reginald Alvin Hansberry guilty of two counts of selling marijuana, OCGA § 16-13-30 j, and two counts of selling cocaine, OCGA § 16-13-30 b.. Hansberry appeals from the order denying his motion for new trial, contending the evidence is insufficient to support his convictions, the trial court erred in admitting eyewitness identification testimony, and the trial court erred in denying his motion for mistrial. Finding no reversible error, we affirm. 1. When a criminal defendant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting his or her conviction, “the relevant question is whether, after viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt.” Jackson v. Virginia , 443 U. S. 307, 318-319 99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560 1979 emphasis original. The jury, not this Court, resolves conflicts in the testimony, weighs the evidence, and draws reasonable inferences from basic facts to ultimate facts. Id. “As long as there is some competent evidence, even though contradicted, to support each fact necessary to make out the State’s case, the jury’s verdict will be upheld.” Citation and punctuation omitted. Miller v. State , 273 Ga. 831, 832 546 SE2d 524 2001.
During the summer of 1996, undercover police officers with the Marietta/Cobb/Smyrna drug enforcement task force made several marijuana and cocaine purchases from street level drug dealers, including one named “Reggie.” Reggie sold marijuana to the same undercover officer, Harris, on two different occasions. Shortly after the marijuana buys, Harris searched police records and was able to identify Reggie more fully as Reginald Hansberry from an arrest photograph. On another occasion, a second officer bought $60 of crack cocaine from a person named “Reggie.” This officer saw Hansberry’s photo and also identified him as the person from whom he bought cocaine. Later, a third officer bought a $100 “slab” of cocaine from “Reggie.” This officer also saw the photograph and independently confirmed that Reggie was Reginald Hansberry. When the officers executed a mass crime scene arrest, Hansberry was not present. He was arrested sometime later on the outstanding warrant and tried in September 1999. All three officers positively identified Hansberry at trial as the person from whom they bought drugs..
