Criminal Law : Inhaling Solvent – Sufficiency Of Evidence
Stephanie Maniscalco//August 13, 2018//
Listen to this articleWhere a defendant challenged her conviction for inhaling a solvent, the judgment is reversed in part because the state failed to meet its burden to prove that difluoroethane was a solvent, but the evidence was sufficient to support the conviction for failure to place her vehicle near the right side of the highway.
Judgment is affirmed in part; reversed in part.
State v. Gay (MLW No. 71936/Case No. SD35122 – 9 pages) (Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District, Sheffield, J.) Appealed from circuit court, Phelps County, White, J. (William John Hudson, Rolla, for respondent) (Herman Gerhard Guetersloh, Rolla, for appellant).
