Opinion text

WRIT GRANTED AND MADE PEREMPTORY: The conviction and sentence of relator for illegal possession of stolen things is reversed and set aside. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution a rational trier of fact could not find every essential element of the crime proven beyond a reasonable doubt or that every reasonable hypothesis of innocence had been excluded.
