Holland v. State

Opinion of the Court

Birdsong, Judge.

Holland appeals his conviction of theft by taking. Held:

The evidence showed that appellant and another man approached the victim from the rear, the other man removed the victim’s purse from her shopping cart, and both men fled. This evidence, without more, was insufficient to authorize the appellant’s conviction. Johnson v. State, 126 Ga. App. 277 (190 SE2d 594).

Judgment reversed.

Bell, C. J., and Shulman, J., concur.
