Description
The defendant, R. C. Gilkey, was tried jointly with another defendant on charges that were made following the burglary of a retail clothing store. The jury convicted the defendant of burglary, 1967 Perm. Supp., C.R.S. 1963, 40-3-5; theft, 1967 Perm. Supp., C.R.S. 1963, 40-5-2; and conspiracy, C.R.S. 1963, 40-7-35. Gilkeys conviction is based upon circumstantial evidence. On appeal, he asserts that the evidence was insufficient to sustain his conviction and that the conduct of the district attorney requires reversal and a new trial. In addition, he claims that the court improperly instructed the jury and improperly denied the admission of an exculpatory statement which he made to the police following his arrest. In our judgment, the evidence justified the submission of the case to the jury. Corbett v. People, 153 Colo. 457, 387 P.2d 409 (1963); Militello v. People, 95 Colo. 519, 37 P.2d 527 (1934).
