[¶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, 2019 ND 71, ¶ 13, 924 N.W.2d 410 (quoting State v. Truelove, 2017 ND 283, ¶ 7, 904 N.W.2d 342). 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).
[¶2] Jon J. Jensen, C.J. Daniel J. Crothers Lisa Fair McEvers Jerod E. Tufte Douglas A. Bahr
