State v. Cash

Summary

The court held that the State could appeal the superior court’s order sustaining the defendants’ double-jeopardy plea because the plea was sustained before a jury was impaneled for retrial. It further held that the defendants had not waived review of the sufficiency issue and that the trial evidence was legally sufficient for a rational jury to find both defendants guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The order sustaining the plea was therefore reversed and the case was remanded.
