Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Clay County, Carl J. Petersen and Charles K. Borth, Judges. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., Tabor, J., and Blane, S.J. Opinion by Blane, S.J. (6 pages).
Defendant appeals her conviction for possession of marijuana, third or subsequent offense, arguing the district court erred in denying her motion for judgment of acquittal. She asserts there was insufficient evidence to support the jury’s verdict. OPINION HOLDS: Upon our review, we determine that there was sufficient evidence for the jury to find Gore guilty of constructive possession of marijuana, and the district court did not err in denying her motion for judgment of acquittal.
