Kiara C. Kraus-Parr, Grand Forks, N.D., for defendant and appellant. State v. Pittsley No. 20250009
[¶1] Michelle Pittsley appeals from a criminal judgment entered after a jury convicted her of child neglect, a class C felony. On appeal, Pittsley argues that there was insufficient evidence to support her 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. Cahoon, 2023 ND 178, ¶ 1, 996 N.W.2d 313 (cleaned up). After reviewing the record, we conclude that there was sufficient evidence to support the guilty verdict. 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
