United States v. Stirewalt
United States v. Stirewalt
Opinion of the Court
A jury convicted Stirewalt of transporting a stolen aircraft in interstate commerce,
We find his contention to be without merit. The Government’s evidence showed that the aircraft was stolen from an airport in Orange County, California ; that Stirewalt landed it in Tarrant County, Texas, representing himself to be Dr. Nystrom, the airplane’s true owner; and that Stirewalt employed one Po-plawski to paint a false registration number on the aircraft. Thus there was ample evidence to support Stirewalt’s conviction on all counts. See Barnes v. United States, 1973, 412 U.S. 837, 93 S. Ct. 2357, 37 L.Ed.2d 380; Glasser v. United States, 1942, 315 U.S. 60, 62 S. Ct. 457, 86 L.Ed. 680.
