United States v. Owens
Opinion of the Court
John Robert Owens appeals from his conviction of violating 26 U.S.C. § 7212(b), forcibly rescuing certain vehicles
The evidence presented against Owens was circumstantial. However, we conclude that it was sufficient for the jury to find beyond a reasonable doubt that Owens had committed the crime. Cf., United States v. Chappell, 353 F.2d 83, 84 (4th Cir. 1965). We find no cause for reversal in Owens’ other assignments of error.
Judge Russell, believing the evidence insufficient to sustain a conviction, dissents.
Affirmed.
