Syllabus

Defendant's conviction for possession of heroin was based on sufficient evidence and was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Circumstantial evidence supported the jury's conclusion that defendant \knowingly\ possessed the heroin in the parcel he accepted during a controlled delivery. Under former R.C. 2925.11(C)(6)(f) and R.C. 2941.1410, given the quantity of heroin involved (more than 250 grams), the trial court did not err in sentencing defendant to a mandatory maximum 11 years in prison. Judgment affirmed.
