Evidence

For an appellant to prevail on a claim of insufficient evidence, he must show that no rational trier of fact, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Suani v. A.S.G., 1 ASR3d 1(1997).

In evaluating the sufficiency of the evidence the inquiry is no whether the evidence excludes every hypothesis except guilt, but whether the trial court could reasonably arrive at its verdict. Suani v. A.S.G., 1 ASR3d 1(1997).

To establish possession of a controlled substance the government must present evidence that the defendant had dominion and control over the contraband. Suani v. A.S.G., 1 ASR3d 1(1997).

Mere fact appellant was defensive and angry under police interrogation and that he lived 90-120 feet from the two marijuana plants growing in nearby bush land is insufficient evidence to permit a conclusion beyond a reasonable doubt that the appellant was in possession of a controlled substance. . Suani v. A.S.G., 1 ASR3d 1(1997).
