2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Because the defendant was convicted of attempted possession of cocaine, the State had the burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant had control over and thereby knowingly and specifically intended to possess the cocaine. LSA-R.S. 14:27; 40:967. State v. Bell, 566 So.2d 959, 960 (La. 1990).
