State v. Forsyth
Court of Appeals of Oregon
Decided March 24, 1975No. 74-02-0388 CrPublishedCited by 11 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtFort, J.
Defendant was indicted on a charge of rape in the first degree in violation of ORS 163.375. Following a jury trial he was convicted on said charge and sentenced to an indeterminate term of imprisonment not to exceed seven years.
Defendant first challenges the trial court’s failure to grant his motion for directed verdict. On review we look to the evidence most favorable to the state’s case and determine whether such is sufficient to allow a jury to infer defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. State v. Gross, 19 Or App 187, 526 P2d 1050 (1974).
