State v. Hauge
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of possession of one to ten pounds of marijuana. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the trial court did not err in denying Defendant's motion for judgment of acquittal, as the evidence was sufficient to sustain the conviction; (2) Defendant's proposed jury instructions were properly denied, as the instructions provided to the jury correctly stated the law and informed the jury; (3) the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying Defendant's motion to have the jury view his residence; and (4) the trial judge did not abuse his discretion when he did not recuse himself on the basis of impartiality where Defendant provided no objective grounds to conclude the trial judge's impartiality might be reasonably questioned.
