William Bowman was convicted after a jury trial of Class A Felony Dealing in a Narcotic Drug within 1,000 Feet of School Property and of being a Habitual Substance Offender. Bowman raises five contentions on appeal: (1) he was a victim of “sentencing factor manipulation” at the hands of the Connersville Police Department and its confidential informant, Ciji Angel; (2) the jury verdict may not have been unanimous, in that two baggies were introduced into evidence to support a single charge of dealing in heroin; (3) certain letters he wrote to potential witnesses from prison should not have been admitted; (4) there was insufficient evidence to support the conviction; and (5) his sentence of forty years for felony dealing was inappropriate. We find none of Bowman’s contentions merit reversal, and thus affirm.

We now reach the crux of the Court of Appeals opinion below, and the focus of Bowman’s argument: was there sufficient evidence to support the conviction in the absence of chemical testing on the second baggie that indicated it contained heroin? Bowman, 32 N.E.3d at 813; Appellant’s Br. at 19–21. We believe that there was.
When conducting a sufficiency of the evidence review after a jury verdict, the appellate posture is markedly deferential to the outcome below: we will neither reweigh the evidence nor re-examine witness credibility, and we “must consider only the probative evidence and reasonable inferences supporting the verdict.” Drane v. State, 867 N.E.2d 144, 146 (Ind. 2007) (emphasis in original). Indeed, it is our duty to “affirm the conviction unless ‘no reasonable fact-finder could find the elements of the crime proven beyond a reasonable doubt.’” Id. at 146–47 (quoting Jenkins v. State, 726 N.E.2d 268, 270 (Ind. 2000)).
Here, construing the evidence in the manner which supports the verdict, Angel testified that she purchased heroin from Bowman twice, one of the baggies she provided to Detective Phillips tested positive for heroin, the location of both sales was within 1,000 of a school, a child was present for both sales, and Bowman attempted to coerce witnesses into testifying in his favor. Taken as a whole, this is adequate to support the Class A felony conviction. Bowman has cogently raised an alarming specter: that Angel framed him for this crime and that the procedural irregularities accompanying the controlled buy allowed it to happen. But Bowman raised precisely that same specter before the jury, which was in the best position to judge Angel’s credibility as a witness. [Footnote omitted.]Having heard her testimony, the jury found Angel’s version of events reliable and voted to convict. We see no reason to upset that determination on appeal.

Conclusion
For the foregoing reasons, we affirm Bowman’s conviction for Class A Felony Dealing in a Narcotic Drug within 1,000 Feet of School Property.
