State of Kansas, Appellee v. Gregory Stuart Rosa, Appellant

Summary

The court affirmed Rosa’s conviction for possessing methamphetamine, holding that the circumstantial evidence was sufficient to establish his knowing and intentional control over drugs found in a bedroom of his home. It also held that evidence of Rosa’s prior drug use was admissible because he disputed knowledge of the drugs rather than disputing their presence. The court agreed that an isolated improper prosecutorial remark was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.
