State v. Cahoon
No. 20230008
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Celena Cahoon appeals from a criminal judgment entered following a
jury verdict finding her guilty of child neglect in violation of N.D.C.C
§ 14-09-22.1(1), asserting the evidence is insufficient to support the conviction.
“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,
). After reviewing the record, we conclude sufficient
evidence exists for a jury to draw a reasonable inference Cahoon committed
the charged offense. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3).
