No. 5175.

406 S.C. 118 (2013)

749 S.E.2d 165

The STATE, Respondent, v. Karl Ryan LANE, Appellant.

Court of Appeals of South Carolina.

Decided October 9, 2013.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Appellate Defenders Dayne C. Phillips and Carmen V. Ganjehsani , of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson and Assistant Attorney General J. Benjamin Aplin , both of Columbia, for Respondent.


PIEPER, J.

This appeal arises out of Karl Ryan Lane's conviction for first-degree burglary. On appeal, Lane argues the trial court erred (1) by refusing to grant a directed verdict when the evidence merely raised the suspicion of his guilt and the State failed to present substantial circumstantial evidence that he was guilty of first-degree burglary and (2) by refusing to charge the jury on the circumstantial evidence instruction he requested. We reverse.
