166 Conn. 266 | Conn. | 1974
On a trial to a jury, the defendant was found guilty of the crime of robbery with violence. The court denied the defendant’s motion to set aside the verdict, and the defendant has appealed from the judgment as rendered on the verdict. The sole issue raised on the appeal is whether the evidence supports the verdict, it being the defendant’s claim that it does not and that, accordingly, the court erred in refusing to set aside the verdict of the jury. Whether the evidence is sufficient to support the verdict is tested by the evidence printed in the .appendices to the briefs which must be given a construction most favorable to sustaining the jury’s verdict. State v. Romano, 165 Conn. 239, 250, 332 A.2d 64; State v. Benton, 161 Conn. 404, 406, 288 A.2d 411; State v. Raffone, 161 Conn. 117, 121, 285 A.2d 323.
From the evidence offered, the jury could reasonably have found the following facts: On August 26, 1971, Fred Pilote was working as a gasoline
On the basis of this evidence, the jury were amply justified in concluding that the state had proved the guilt of the defendant beyond a reasonable doubt, and the court was not in error in refusing to set aside the verdict.
There is no error.
