Fields v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Decided October 8, 1951No. 4661Published

1DissentPaul Ward, J.

It is my opinion that the testimony in this case, giving it the strongest probative value, only raises a suspicion that appellant knew the property was stolen.

The judgment should be reversed and a new trial granted under the authority of: Jones v. State, 85 Ark. 360, 108 S. W. 223; Andrews v. State, 100 Ark. 184, 137 S. W. 1134; McCoy v. State, 177 Ark. 1053, 9 S. W. 2d 241; France v. State, 68 Ark. 529, 60 S. W. 236.
