1Opinion of the Court
CHIPMAN, Judge.
Daniel O’Brien is appealing his conviction by a six-member Clark County jury for possession of more than 30 grams of marijuana, IC 35^18-4-11 1 a class D felony. O’Brien contends the Indiana statute which permits a six-member jury to determine the facts in a felony case is unconstitutional. Moreover, he contends the evidence at trial was insufficient to convict him and testimony was admitted erroneously.
We affirm the conviction and find no constitutional infirmity.
