1. ““Although the evidence for the State prior to its resting its case was woefully unclear and indefinite as to some particulars, we are able to determine with reasonable certainty from the evidence ... that the person who was seen by Parris Golfing [State’s witness] in the automobile of Keith Anthony [the victim of the breaking and entering] ... was either this appellant or his co-defendant_ In our opinion, the evidence thus considered constitutes substantial evidence that this appellant, either as the principal or as an aider or abettor, was guilty of the possession of burglar’s tools with the intent to use the tools in the commission of an offense involving forceful entry into the premises_” Id. at 1002 .”
