DA 07-0204
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF MONTANA
2008 MT 354
STATE OF MONTANA, v. ROBERT G. FARMER
The sole issue on appeal is whether the District Court erred in denying Farmer’s motion to dismiss for insufficient evidence § 61-6-301, MCA,
We conclude the State failed to present sufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Farmer did not have valid liability insurance for his vehicle at the time of the traffic stop. Consequently, we further conclude the State failed to prove Farmer violated § 61-6-301, MCA. We hold, therefore, that the District Court erred in denying Farmer’s motion to dismiss for insufficient evidence.
¶16 Reversed and remanded to the District Court with instructions to vacate the judgment and dismiss the charge.
