State v. Kline
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of criminal distribution of dangerous drugs, endangering the welfare of children, and incest for giving methamphetamine to his daughter, S.K., allowing her to ingest methamphetamine while in his care, and having sexual intercourse or sexual contact with her. The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment and sentence, holding (1) the district court did not err by concluding that S.K. was not legally accountable for Kline’s incest; and (2) the State presented sufficient evidence to the jury corroborating S.K.’s testimony regarding incest, and therefore, the district court properly denied Defendant’s motion for a directed verdict of acquittal based on the State’s failure to present corroborating evidence.
