Oregon v. McBride
Annotate this Case
Defendant Gregory McBride lived in his friend's house where the two grew, used and sold marijuana. THe friend's teen-aged daughter and her friend also lived there. Defendant occasionally smoked marijuana in the home, sometimes with the teenagers. Based on those circumstances, Defendant was charged with manufacturing a controlled substance, delivering said substance to a minor and two counts of endangering the welfare of minors. Defendant moved for acquittal at trial, but was ultimately convicted by a jury on all counts. The Court of Appeals affirmed. On appeal to the Supreme Court, Defendant challenged only his child-endangerment convictions. Upon review of the evidence in the record, the Supreme Court concluded the trial court erred in denying Defendant's motion for judgment of acquittal on those charges, and therefore reversed his conviction as to those counts.
