Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
State of Missouri vs. Cortez Cave
Cortez Cave was convicted by a jury of drug trafficking in the second degree and possession of drug paraphernalia. On appeal, Cave challenged the sufficiency of the evidence supporting his convictions, arguing the State failed to prove his possession of the controlled substance and paraphernalia. The Western District of the Missouri Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment, finding ample evidence supported the jury's finding of constructive possession.
