Thomas v. State

Appellant, defendant in the trial court, seeks review of a judgment and sentence of eighteen months in the state penitentiary for buying, receiving or concealing stolen property.

Three points are raised by appellant for our consideration: (1) the testimony of the district operating manager of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company was inadmissible hearsay; (2) the evidence was insufficient to prove that tires found in defendant’s home were those stolen from Firestone’s private siding; and (3) the evidence was insufficient to prove defendant’s guilty knowledge that tires he purchased were stolen.
