Description

Defendant Richard James Pierce was convicted of theft by securing and retaining stolen property. U.C.A., 1953, Â§ 76-6-408 (1), as amended (Supp. 1985). In January 1984, defendant bought an air compressor form his friends, Mark Ward and mike Adams, who had stolen it. Defendant claims error because the trial court improperly (1) refused to dismiss the charge for lack of sufficient evidence; (2) refused to give a proffered jury instruction on testimony of accomplices; and (3) admitted evidence of other crimes (e.g., distribution of drugs). We reject defendants contentions and affirm his conviction.
