State v. DeMatteo

POMEROY, Justice.

This appeal results from a judgment on a verdict of guilty returned by a jury after a trial in which the appellant was charged with the crime of larceny of $6,900. (17 M.R.S.A. § 2101.) Although many points of appeal were originally assigned, an amendment to the points of appeal limited the issues.

Before us now for consideration are but three points:

1. That the evidence is insufficient to sustain a conviction for the alleged offense.

2. That the jury instructions, as a matter of law, were confusing as to the law applicable to the extent to deprive the Defendant of a fair trial.
