STATE v. HEINRICH (2023)

Supreme Court of North Dakota.

STATE of North Dakota, Plaintiff and Appellee v. Jeremy Wayne HEINRICH, Defendant and Appellant

No. 20220339

Decided: May 30, 2023

Tonya Duffy, State's Attorney, Valley City, ND, for plaintiff and appellee; submitted on brief. Laura C. Ringsak, Bismarck, ND, for defendant and appellant; submitted on brief.

[¶1] Jeremy Wayne Heinrich appeals from a criminal judgment entered after a jury convicted him of one count of continuous sexual abuse of a child and two counts of promoting obscenity to minors. He argues the convictions are not supported by sufficient evidence. “In reviewing challenges to the sufficiency of the evidence on appeal, the defendant bears the burden of showing the evidence reveals no reasonable inference of guilt when viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict.” State v. Rai, 2019 ND 71, ¶ 13, 924 N.W.2d 410 (cleaned up). After reviewing the record, we conclude sufficient evidence exists for a jury to draw a reasonable inference Heinrich committed the charged offenses. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3).

Per Curiam.
