State's petition for discretionary review of a court of appeals' reversal of a former county attorney's conviction of misdemeanor offense of "improper influence," for unsuccessfully attempting to cut short a criminal prosecution of his aunt, is granted and the judgment of the court of appeals reversed and remanded as the jury reasonably and rationally concluded beyond a reasonable doubt that defendant had the intent to improperly influence the outcome of his aunt's criminal case on a basis not authorized by law.
