Reese v. Commonwealth

Supreme Court of Virginia

1Opinion of the CourtCochran, J.

Gloria Reese was tried by the court, sitting without a jury, on an indictment charging her with grand larceny of a motor vehicle. The court found her guilty of unauthorized use of an automobile having a value of less than $200, suspended imposition of sentence for three years upon good behavior, placed her on supervised probation, and ordered her to pay specified costs. On appeal, Reese contends that the trial court erred in denying her motion to strike the evidence after all the evidence had been presented. We agree that the evidence is insufficient to support the conviction.
