unproductive to try to formulate a standard of appellate review in terms of a hypothesis of innocence, because inevitably it appears to intrude upon the role of the fact finder. As we shall see in the case before us, the State’s evidence supported reasonable inferences of Defendant’s relationship to the gun that the jury was entitled to draw in finding possession beyond a reasonable doubt. {21} Given that both Defendant and the driver had equal access to the gun, we agree with the Court of Appeals that the State needed something more than physical proximity to establish Defendant’s control. However, unlike the Court of Appeals, we are persuaded that the State presented sufficient additional evidence to meet its burden. See State v. Barber, 2004-NMSC-019, ¶28, 135 N.M. 621, 92 P.3d 633 (<HOLDING>); Bauske, 86 N.M. at 486, 525 P.2d at 413
