How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- noting that a reasonable factfinder “must have had a reasonable doubt” where Peery’s actions were “insolubly ambiguous” and where a person in Peery’s shoes who was not guilty of the charged offense “might have acted exactly as he did”
- finding the government’s evidence insufficient because “both innocent and guilty explanations for [the appellant’s] behavior may exist”
- for second-degree theft, government must prove that at time accused obtained property he “knew that he was without the authority to do so”
