State v. Loftland

2 Del. Cas. 133, 1800 Del. LEXIS 19
Delaware County Court of Quarter Sessions·Decided May 14, 1800·Published·Cited by 1 cases

Opinion

Chief Justice Booth.

Positive proof of a felony can seldom be given. Circumstantial evidence is sufficient to warrant the jury to convict the party; but that should satisfy the jury. The goods being found with the party is a strong presumption of his guilt, and especially if the party cannot account for his getting them into his possession.
