Wright v. State

This is an appeal by David Wright (the defendant) from the judgment entered against him by the Circuit Court for Wicomico County following his conviction by a jury of arson under Code (1957), Art. 27, § 7.

The trial court overruled the defendant’s motion for a directed verdict at the conclusion of the evidence offered by the State and again at the close of all the evidence. The sole question presented is whether there was sufficient corroboration of the testimony of the two accomplices that the defendant had participated in or was identified with the offense charged.
