Williams, a controlled substance, namely cocaine, weighing by aggregate weight, including any adulterants or dilu-tants, less than 28 grams, and that the defendant, Samuel Alonzo Rogers, with the intent to promote or assist the commission of the offense, if any, solicited, encouraged, directed, aided or attempted to aid Kenneth Ray White to commit the offense, if he did, then you will find the defendant guilty as charged in the indictment.”
