People v. Jones

Summary

The court affirmed defendant's conviction and sentence, holding that the evidence was sufficient for a rational jury to find that she knowingly possessed ammunition found in the glove compartment of her vehicle. The court also held that defendant invited any alleged instructional error by agreeing to the court's response defining knowingly through common understanding, and that counsel's decision not to request the pattern instruction was reasonable trial strategy rather than ineffective assistance. The court further concluded that the alleged instructional error did not constitute plain error.
