Childers v. State
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's convictions for attempted second-degree murder, felony property destruction, and other offenses, holding that the district court did not err when it denied Defendant's motion for judgment of acquittal.
On appeal, Defendant argued that there was insufficient evidence to support his convictions for property destruction and felony possession of methamphetamine. The Supreme Court disagreed, holding (1) the district court did not err in denying Defendant's motion for a judgment of acquittal on the two property destruction counts because Defendant's conduct provided the required mens rea to impose criminal liability; and (2) the evidence was sufficient for the jury to determine beyond a reasonable doubt that Defendant was guilty of felony possession of methamphetamine.
