Most-quoted passages

1 later decision quote this exact passage“An inference or a presumption of a defendant’s guilt of a burglary or theft sufficient to sustain a conviction may arise from possession by a defendant of property stolen or taken in a recent burglary. However, in the prosecution for either a theft or a burglary, to warrant such an inference or presumption of guilt from the circumstances of possession alone, such possession must be personal, must be recent, must be unexplained, and must involve a distinct and conscious assertion or right to the property by the defendant.”
