People v. Smyth

California Supreme Court

Decided July 1, 1858

California Supreme Court · decided 1858-07-01

<p>Appeal from the Court of Sessions of the County of Del Norte.</p>

Decided 1858-07-01

Baldwin, J., delivered the opinion of the Court—

¶1Terry, C. J., concurring.

¶2Indictment for larceny. The evidence in this case was clearly insufficient to justify the conviction of the prisoner. So far from proving legal guilt, it was not even sufficient to warrant an inference of moral culpability.

¶3Judgment reversed.
