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

  • noting that evidence which furnishes nothing more than a suspicion that defendant committed the crime is not sufficient
  • holding inference not permitted where defendant was one of several people in van containing stolen property, but there was no proof that he exercised dominion or control over property
  • finding appellant's presence in the van and proximity to the stolen property found in the van was insufficient circumstantial evidence to prove intent
