Highlight

A jury may find a defendant guilty even though evidence exists which, if believed, could lead to a not guilty verdict.
In nearly all possession of drug paraphernalia cases, the State will be forced to prove by circumstantial evidence the intent to use the paraphernalia for the purpose of ingesting, preparing, or storing a controlled substance.
A verdict based upon circumstantial evidence carries the same presumption of correctness as other verdicts.
