Description
Defendant was indicted in two counts for theft of two Buick automobiles. He was convicted of Count 1, but the jury found him not guilty as to Count 2. Defendant appeals and contends the evidence was entirely circumstantial in nature and insufficient to exclude every reasonable hypothesis save that of his guilt. Held : 1. The automobiles were proven to have been stolen; defendant was seen driving both vehicles; his fingerprints were found in the automobile allegedly stolen in Count 1; and there was evidence as to the modus operandi of the theft sufficient to connect this defendant with the crime. The defendant testified that he was on a drinking spree in Savannah and had been in numerous automobiles while in Savannah, and could have left his fingerprints in this automobile. He did not, however, explain just why he may have been in the stolen automobile.
