People v. Smyth
California Supreme Court Jul 1, 1858Published
Before: Baldwin
Synopsis
Appeal from the Court of Sessions of the County of Del Norte.
Baldwin, J., delivered the opinion of the Court— Terry, C. J., concurring.
Indictment 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.
Judgment reversed.
