Beschreibung des Verlags
James Gordon Marion was convicted by a jury of possessing cocaine (misconduct involving a controlled substance in the fourth
degree). On appeal, he challenges the sufficiency of the evidence before the grand jury and at trial. We reverse. On March 9, 1988, shortly after midnight, Anchorage Police Sergeant Ed Hofkins pulled a car over for running a red light.
The stopped car was driven by Robert Baker; James Marion sat in the front passenger's seat. When Hofkins saw two men in the
car, he called for a back-up officer. Hofkins then approached the driver's side of the stopped car and asked Baker to identify
himself and produce his driver's license.
