The Pennsylvania Superior Court has denied the latest appeal of a Bradford man convicted of one of the largest cocaine delivery cases in county history that resulted in the forfeiture of his property.
James Howard Fowler was convicted in 2016 of several drug crimes after delivering cocaine to a confidential informant working under surveillance of the McKean County Drug Task Force.
After a search of Fowler’s Bradford residence, a large amount of cocaine, scales, and other items were discovered indicative of possessing cocaine with the intent to deliver it.
Since then, Fowler has filed multiple motions alleging entrapment, that his attorneys were ineffective, the trial court didn’t properly instruct the jury and claiming they shouldn’t have introduced evidence regarding a prior conviction for drug delivery among other things.
The Superior Court denied his latest appeal in a recent decision.
