1. “That standard requires this Court to look at the evidence most favorable to the verdict, and, without reweighing the evidence or judging the credibility of the witness, decide whether a reasonable person could find the existence of each element of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt.... The jury may infer intent to kill from the use of a deadly weapon in a manner likely to cause death. The State presented evidence to rebut Beadin’s contention that the shooting was an accident. The shotgun could only be fired by pulling back on the trigger with a force in excess of six pounds. When firing the shotgun, Beadin took the time to level the gun at Baker. Baker testified, “I was looking down a barrel of a shotgun ...” The jury had sufficient evidence before it to infer that Beadin intended to kill Baker.”
