Motion for Judgment of Acquittal
The court on motion of a defendant
or of its own motion shall, at the close of the evidence offered by the State, order the
entry of judgment of acquittal of one or more offenses charged in the complaint if
the evidence is insufficient to sustain a conviction of such offense or offenses. If a
defendant's motion for judgment of acquittal is not granted, the defendant may offer
evidence without having reserved the right.
