Description
Defendant was convicted, following a jury trial, of burglary in the first degree and robbery in the second degree. He argues on this appeal that the evidence of his guilt, being entirely circumstantial, did not establish his participation in these crimes beyond a reasonable doubt. We agree that the circumstantial evidence offered against defendant was insufficient, inasmuch as the facts adduced are not inconsistent with defendants innocence, nor does the evidence exclude to a moral certainty every reasonable hypothesis of innocence. The order of the Appellate Division should therefore be reversed and the indictment dismissed.
