Highlight

On appeal, jury instructions are considered as a whole to determine whether they correctly and adequately advise the jury of the applicable law and do not mislead or confuse the jury.
Whether documentary evidence should be excluded for lack of adequate foundation is within a trial court's discretion, and adequate foundation may be established by circumstantial evidence, including the events preceding, surrounding, and following the transmission of the document.
A conviction rests upon insufficient evidence only when, after reviewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution and giving the prosecution the benefit of all inferences reasonably to be drawn in its favor, no rational fact-finder could find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
An information filed in district court before a preliminary examination is not invalid unless the defendant objects to the information before entering a plea.
