Oliver J. Middleton v. United States

U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit June 25, 1959

Oliver J. Middleton v. United States, 269 F.2d 241 (D.C. Cir. 1959)

106 U.S. App. D.C. 50; 1959 U.S. App. LEXIS 3585

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

In our opinion the circumstantial evidence on which appellant was convicted of housebreaking could not fairly be thought to prove him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Accordingly his motion for acquittal should have been granted, and a judgment of acquittal should now be entered.

Reversed.
