Robert John L. Harvill v. United States

United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth CircuitMarch 19, 196922845California68 words
Opinion
Appellant stands convicted of the theft of a case of cigarettes from an interstate shipment. He contends that no evidence connects the cigarettes traced to him with those that were stolen.
We disagree. The evidence is clear that cigarettes sold by appellant to a friend were from an interstate shipment destined for an Air Force base. Circumstantial evidence supports the conclusion that appellant was the thief.
Judgment affirmed.
