State v. Kirn
Annotate this CaseDouglas Kirn was charged with two felony counts of assault on a police officer by causing reasonable apprehension of serious bodily injury by use of a weapon. The matter proceeded to a jury trial, and Kirn was convicted. Kirn appealed the denial of his motion to dismiss for lack of sufficient evidence. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court did not err in denying Kirn's motion to dismiss for insufficient evidence because, under these circumstances, the State presented sufficient evidence upon which a rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt.
