Can a jury convict an appellant of concealing and withholding the stolen hubcaps?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Stevenson, 17 Cal.Rptr. 736 (Cal. App. 1961):
Appellant claimed he did not know of the presence of the hubcaps or that they had been stolen. Conceivably the jury, acting upon the given instruction, could have convicted appellant of concealing and withholding the stolen hubcaps despite their conclusion that he did not know the hubcaps had been stolen. (See People v. Thomas (1945) 25 Cal.2d 880, 895, 156 P.2d 7.)
