State v. Gregory
No. 20190060
Per Curiam.
[¶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).
