People v. Fyda

2 sentences1986While it is true that knowledge of the fact that the parts are stolen is an essential element of the crime of receiving and concealing stolen property, People v Montague, 71 Mich 318 ; 39 NW 60 (1888), a rational trier of fact under the Hampton standard could clearly find that, when defendant went to the alley with the other individuals and they all descended on the car "like a pit crew,” as stated by the officer who observed the event, defendant had the requisite guilty knowledge. 1986While it is true that knowledge of the fact that the parts are stolen is an essential element of the crime of receiving and concealing stolen property, People v Montague, 71 Mich 318 ; 39 NW 60 (1888), a rational trier of fact under the Hampton standard could clearly find that, when defendant went to the alley with the other individuals and they all descended on the car "like a pit crew,” as stated by the officer who observed the event, defendant had the requisite guilty knowledge. | 1 | 1986–1986 |
