1. ““The sale took place November 7, 1973. The officer had previously spoken to the defendant, known to the officer then as ‘Buzzi,’ for about 15 minutes. At the time of the sale, the two talked about one-half hour. November 16, 1973, the officer saw the defendant and requested the police unit to stop to ascertain the defendant’s true name. The officer testified that prior to trial, he had seen Milonich approximately 15 times. At some time during December, 1973, or January, 1974, the officer went to the files of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department to compare the name he had been given with a photo that the Department had. He determined that the photo and the name were of the same individual and he retained the picture.””
