Debra Sue MILES, Appellant–Defendant, v. STATE of Indiana, Appellee–Plaintiff.
The State presented evidence that methamphetamine and precursors were found in the shared residence of Miles and Larry but set forth no other evidence to establish that Miles was more than merely present in her own home. It is not the role of this court to reweigh evidence or assess witness credibility, but there must be evidence in the record to show that Miles affirmatively acted to aid, induce, or cause Larry to manufacture methamphetamine. See Green v. State, 937 N.E.2d 923, 927, 930 (Ind.Ct.App.2010), trans. denied. Here, there is no such evidence. Based on the foregoing, I conclude that the State failed to present evidence beyond a reasonable doubt to uphold Miles' conviction for dealing in methamphetamine and would reverse.
