Gray v. State

A trial court found Lisa Gray guilty of possessing marijuana as a class A misdemeanor. The court of appeals set aside the conviction on the grounds of insufficient evidence. At issue on appeal was whether the trial court properly found Gray had constructive possession of the marijuana when it was found on the floor of her apartment and Gray's son testified that the marijuana belonged to him. The Supreme Court granted transfer, vacated the court of appeals, and affirmed the trial court, holding that there was substantial evidence of probative value from which the court could have found beyond a reasonable doubt that Gray committed the crime.
