STATE v. GREGORY (2019)

Supreme Court of North Dakota.

STATE of North Dakota, Plaintiff and Appellee v. Komikka Katrice GREGORY, Defendant and Appellant

No. 20190060

Decided: October 03, 2019

Kelly A. Dillon, Special Assistant State’s Attorney, Bismarck, ND, for plaintiff and appellee. Rozanna C. Larson (on brief), State’s Attorney, Minot, ND, for plaintiff and appellee. Russell J. Myhre, Enderlin, ND, for defendant and appellant.

[¶1] Komikka Gregory appeals from an amended criminal judgment entered after a jury verdict. Following trial, in October 2018 a jury found Gregory not guilty of the charge of murder, but guilty of a charge of manslaughter. Gregory argues there was insufficient evidence to sustain the jury verdict for her conviction. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict, we conclude sufficient evidence exists that could allow a jury to draw a reasonable inference in favor of conviction. We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3).

Per Curiam.
