  1. Henley v. State

    371 P.2d 928 (Okla. Crim. App. 1962)   Cited 5 times

    While enroute to the courthouse, the defendant offered to give Thompson $50.00 if Thompson would tell the officers that the defendant had purchased the stolen merchandise from Thompson. In support of his assignment of error, the defendant cites the following case in which this court considered the sufficiency of the evidence: Maines v. State, 97 Okla. Cr. 386, 364 P.2d 316; Petty v. State, 83 Okla. Cr. 150, 174 P.2d 274; Richards v. State, 52 Okla. Cr. 436, 6 P.2d 449; Ritter v. State, 84 Okla. Cr. 418, 183 P.2d 257; Johnson v. State, 84 Okla. Cr. 368, 182 P.2d 777; Starr v. State, 63 Okla. Cr. 302, 74 P.2d 1174; Doty v. State, 88 Okla. Cr. 381, 203 P.2d 444. While we are in accord with the authorities above cited, we are of the opinion that the evidence in the case at bar, although circumstantial, was sufficient to establish all of the essential elements of the crime of burglary and to connect the accused with its commission.
