State v. Vailgreen
minn · 1979 · cited in 2 Minnesota opinions naming this issue, 2010–2010
2 sentences

2010In support of their argument, Enoch and Watson rely primarily on Vail , in which the supreme court reversed a defendant’s conviction for sale and possession of marijuana after concluding that the evidence was insufficient to identify the substance as marijuana beyond a reasonable doubt. 274 N.W.2d at 129, 134 .

2010But even so, the Vail opinion, which concerned marijuana, did not establish a bright-line rule that applies to a case involving methamphetamine; there is no rule of law arising from Vail that would require a district court to grant a motion for judgment of acquittal if the state’s scientific evidence was limited to the result of a NIK Test U. In fact, the Vail court expressly stated the contrary proposition: “We have not prescribed minimum eviden-tiary requirements in identification cases, preferring to examine the sufficiency of the evidence on a case-by-case basis.” 274 N.W.2d at 134 .
