Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
State of Missouri vs. Timothy Lee Todd, Jr.
Timothy Lee Todd, Jr. appealed his conviction for attempted first-degree burglary, arguing the State failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he intended to commit a crime inside the victim's home. The trial court had denied his motions for acquittal and found him guilty after a bench trial. The Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District, affirmed the judgment, concluding that circumstantial evidence, including visible items of value and Todd's forcible entry attempt, sufficiently established his intent to steal.
