Case Notes



 



  Where violation of misdemeanor offense under subsection
(1)(d) also constituted violation of felony offense under §712-1247(1)(h),
conviction of felony offense would have constituted violation of defendant's
due process and equal protection rights.  86 H. 48, 947 P.2d 360.



  Since to sell and to barter do not include to prescribe,
§712-1248(1)(d) is not a lesser included offense of §712-1247(1)(h).  78 H. 488
(App.), 896 P.2d 944.
