Heading: Possession Within 1000 Feet of School Property

Text: When evaluating a claim of insufficient evidence, we neither weigh the evidence nor judge the credibility of the witnesses. Instead, we look solely to evidence with probative value and the reasonable inferences that may be drawn therefrom which support the verdict. Rosell v. State (1976), 265 Ind. 173, 352 N.E.2d 750. Contrary to Whitt's claim, there was sufficient evidence that Irwin Elementary School was indeed school property. [1] The trial testimony of Detective Voorhies provided a rational inference that Whitt possessed cocaine within one thousand feet of school property. He stated: I went out to the location of the arrest and with a measuring wheel I measured the distance from the location of the arrest to the location of Irwin Elementary School, which is located at 3501 South Anthony. R. 301. The appropriate weight of this evidence was exclusively within the province of the jury. We cannot say its conclusion on the issue was wrong.
