Disposition

• The appeal challenging the sufficiency of the evidence to support the Defendant's conviction was affirmed (para 4).

Reasons

• Per J. Miles Hanisee, with Judges Shammara H. Henderson and Jane B. Yohalem concurring:
  The Court found that the credibility of witnesses and the weight of their testimony are determinations for the jury, not the appellate court. It is established that the testimony of a single witness can be sufficient for a conviction. The appellate court's role is limited to reviewing whether there is relevant evidence that a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion for each element of the charged offense. The Defendant's memorandum did not demonstrate any error of fact or law in the proposed disposition of the appeal. Therefore, the judgment and sentence entered by the district court were affirmed (paras 2-4).
