ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS
DIVISIONS I & IV
No. CR-15-79
A.I.M. Opinion Delivered: November 12, 2015
APPELLANT
APPEAL FROM THE CRAIGHEAD
V. COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT
[NO.JV2005-79]
STATE OF ARKANSAS
APPELLEE HONORABLE LEE FERGUS, JUDGE
REVERSED
WAYMOND M. BROWN, Judge
Appellant appeals from the circuit court’s adjudication of his delinquency on
charges of theft by receiving, a Class C felony, and minor in possession. Appellant’s sole
point on appeal is that the circuit court erred by failing to grant his motion for directed
verdict where the only evidence came from the testimony of a codefendant who had pled
guilty to charges prior to appellant’s trial.
We reverse appellant’s adjudication based on the analysis in a companion opinion
decided today. See D.F. v. State, CR-15-78.
Reversed.
VIRDEN, HARRISON, KINARD, and GLOVER, JJ., agree.
GLADWIN, C.J., dissents.
ROBERT J. GLADWIN, Chief Judge, dissenting. I dissent based on the same
rationale expressed in D.F. v. State, 2015 Ark. App. ____.
Terry Goodwin Jones, for appellant.
