People v. Bogan

Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of being an armed habitual criminal. Evidence was sufficient to allow rational trier of fact to conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that Defendant was in control of a certain vehicle, which was in parking lot of apartment complex, and Defendant was sitting on a porch in front of that building, next to where traffic stop was initiated.  Evidence was sufficient to prove Defendant had knowledge of the .40-caliber handgun, which was found in back seat of that vehicle. Thus State sufficiently proved that Defendant had constructive possession of that firearm. (WRIGHT and O'BRIEN, concurring.)
