Where there is substantial and competent evidence to support the verdict such will not be disturbed.” State v. Warden, 97 Idaho 752, 754 , 554 P.2d 684, 686 (1976) (citations omitted).”

Johns““[Tjhere was no showing that the defendant-appellant had actual possession of the substance nor is there any evidence whatsoever to support the inference merely because he was in a room where a controlled substance was later found that he is to be legitimately inferred .to have been in constructive possession. In the absence of such evidence to support the inference, the verdict here must be held to have been based on nothing but speculation.””
