Lew v. Commonwealth

*355COLEMAN, Judge.

In this criminal appeal, we hold that the evidence was sufficient to prove the corpus delicti for grand larceny and to prove that the defendant was the criminal agent.

“The rule in criminal cases is that the coincidence of circumstances tending to indicate guilt, however strong and numerous they may be, avails nothing unless the corpus delicti, the fact that the crime has been actually perpetrated, be first established. So long as the least doubt exists as to the act there can be no certainty as to the criminal agent.”
