State v. Johnson

Supreme Court of Iowa

Decided October 14, 1952No. 48087PublishedCited by 4 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtGareield, J.

The sole question presented upon this appeal is the sufficiency of the evidence to support the verdict of guilty of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated in violation of section 321.281, Code, 1950. We hold the evidence is sufficient.

Of course we must view the testimony in the light most favorable to the State. See State v. Rutledge, 243 Iowa 179, 184, 47 N.W.2d 251, 255; State v. Anderson, 239 Iowa 1118, 1125, 33 N.W.2d 1, 6; State v. Hill, 239 Iowa 675, 677, 32 N.W.2d 398, 399.

It is necessary to refer only to the evidence which tends to support the verdict. We do not decide disputed…
