How later courts described this case
- defendant found asleep on mattress in apartment rented to his cousin; narcotics paraphernalia found under mattress
Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
MORRISON, Judge
(concurring).
I concur in the reversal of this conviction because of the failure of the State to prove that the needle marks, if found on appellant, were recent. Had this missing fact been proven, the presence of the paraphernalia under the mattress would in my opinion have been sufficiently probative to have supported the jury’s finding.
