William Charles JOHNSON, Appellant, v. COMMONWEALTH of Kentucky, Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Kentucky.

May 20, 1966.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William E. Scent, Reed and Scent, Paducah, for appellant.

Robert Matthews, Atty. Gen., Robert D. Preston, Asst. Atty. Gen., Frankfort, for appellee.


HILL, Judge.

Appellant was tried jointly with his codefendants, Hamilton and Shelby, for store-house breaking of which they were all convicted and given four-year sentences. No motion was made for a separate trial under RCr 9.16. Appellant did not testify.

A number of "points" are argued by appellant. The first is that the trial court erred in overruling his motion for acquittal at the conclusion of the evidence for the Commonwealth.
