State of Minnesota v. Lakeric Cortez McCaskill

Syllabus

In this direct appeal from the judgment of conviction of being an ineligible person in possession of a firearm, appellant argues that the circumstantial evidence was insufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he possessed the handgun found in a bag 20 yards away from where he was arrested. Because the circumstances proved are consistent with guilt and inconsistent with any rational hypothesis other than guilt, we affirm.
