State v. Hoffman
No. 20240095
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Heather Hoffman appeals from a criminal judgment entered after a jury
convicted her of murder, a class AA felony. Hoffman argues the district court
abused its discretion by denying her Rule 29, N.D.R.Crim.P., motion for
judgment of acquittal because there is insufficient evidence to support her
conviction. After reviewing the record, we conclude the court did not abuse its
discretion by denying Hoffman’s motion for judgment of acquittal, and
substantial evidence supports the verdict. We summarily affirm under
N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3).
