DISMISSED

Tarpley v. Commonwealth

DISMISSED status graphic: Tarpley v. Commonwealth. 001183 Tarpley v. Commonwealth 03/02/2001 The evidence in a grand larceny prosecution was insufficient as a matter of law to establish larcenous intent at the time the defendant drove away in the victim's automobile because the trier of fact could not determine, without speculation, that defendant intended to deprive the owner of his car permanently. The conviction is reversed and the indictment dismissed.
