State v. Thomas
Louisiana Court of Appeal
State v. Thomas, 538 So. 2d 1021 (1988)
1988 WL 149125
Foret, King, Stoker
State v. Thomas
Opinion of the Court
WRIT GRANTED AND MADE PEREMPTORY: The conviction and sentence of relator for illegal possession of stolen things is reversed and set aside. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution a rational trier of fact could not find every essential element of the crime proven beyond a reasonable doubt or that every reasonable hypothesis of innocence had been excluded.
