State v. Clark
Annotate this CaseAfter a bench trial, Defendant was convicted of the class C felony of possession of a controlled substance and sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment as a prior and persistent offender. Defendant appealed, arguing that the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he had knowledge and control over the drugs in two closed pouches. The Supreme Court agreed with Defendant and reversed, holding that the State failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Defendant, with knowledge of the presence and nature of the substance, had possession of the pouches containing methamphetamine.
