(September 15, 2009)
Cabret, J.
Jahlil Ward was shot in a drive-by shooting in Cruz Bay, St. John. The People charged Denzil Stevens with the shooting, and following a trial, a jury found him guilty. Stevens filed this appeal challenging the sufficiency of the evidence and the trial court’s denial of his motion for a new trial in which he challenged the weight of the evidence supporting his conviction.
