State v. Running Bear
No. 20250138
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Reuben Dale Running Bear appeals from a criminal judgment entered after
a jury convicted him of child abuse of a victim under six years of age, a class B
felony. Running Bear argues there was insufficient evidence to support his
conviction.
[¶2] “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. Grant,
(cleaned up).
[¶3] Based on our review of the record, we conclude there was sufficient
evidence to support the guilty verdict. We summarily affirm under
N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3).
