Circumstantial evidence can be sufficient to sustain a conviction of a minor in possession in violation of this section. When relying upon circumstantial evidence, it is not necessary for the State to disprove every hypothesis but that of guilt. One accused of a crime may be convicted on the basis of circumstantial evidence if, taken as a whole, the evidence establishes guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Circumstantial evidence is sufficient to support a conviction if such evidence and the reasonable inferences that may be drawn therefrom establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. State v. Laue, 225 Neb. 57, 402 N.W.2d 313 (1987).
Circumstantial evidence was sufficient to sustain a conviction under this section. State v. Reeder, 183 Neb. 425, 160 N.W.2d 753 (1968).
To sustain conviction, minor must have known or have been conscious of actual or constructive possession of intoxicating liquor. State v. Eberhardt, 176 Neb. 18, 125 N.W.2d 1 (1963).
