• facts must eliminate all reasonable hypotheses of innocence, not merely create a strong probability of, and be consistent with, guilt
• state's evidence deemed insufficient to link defendant to a burglary; burglary conviction reversed
• where court observed that \[e]vidence that a suspect is present at the scene of a crime and flees after it has been committed is insufficient to exclude a reasonable hypothesis of innocence\
