Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

WALDEN and MAGER, JJ., concur. OWEN, C. J., dissents with opinion.

(dissenting):

Appellant was convicted of conspiracy to sell cannabis to one, Sheets, as alleged in the information. The evidence established that Sheets was at the time a police officer acting in the line of duty. Because the conspiracy charged was to sell to Sheets (not merely to sell generally to any buyer), he necessarily was an essential ingredient to the specific conspiracy charged. Thus, appellant could not legally be convicted of this conspiracy. King v. State, Fla.1958, 104 So. 2d 730; Cruz v. State, Fla.App. 1965, 181 So. 2d 20, cert. den., 189 So. 2d 882 (Fla.) In my opinion, the judgment should be reversed and appellant discharged.

Wells, 291 So. 2d 660 (Fla. 4th DCA 1974), where trial was necessary to resolve apparently conflicting evidence pertaining to the applicability of Section 475.42(l)(d), Florida Statutes. Here, the facts making the statute applicable are undisputed. AFFIRMED. SHIVERS an…
