Walker v. State

After being convicted of possession of eight or more ounces of marijuana in Superior Court in Fairbanks, Dale R. Walker appealed his case in an attempt to overturn his conviction by using the "right to privacy" defense established by the Ravin decision. On November 19, 1999, the state Court of Appeals ruled that Walker's conviction of possession of eight or more ounces of marijuana was not protected by the Ravin decision because that amount was "indicative of intent to sell." The Walker decision upheld the legislature's 1982 law that established the threshold of "indicative of intent to sell" at four ounces.
