How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • car driven without ignition key and ignition wires pulled down; accused attempted to flee;when approached by police
  • evidence held sufficient despite witness’ concession on cross-examination that he was not “one-hundred per cent sure” of his identification of defendant
  • evidence of “pulled down” ignition wires treated as support for “guilty knowledge” element for receiving stolen property
  • vehicle had been stolen at most four hours prior to defendant's arrest; clearly constituted \recent\ possession and obviously an insufficient time for vehicle to have assimilated into ordinary market channels for automobiles
