Breaking And Entering - Motor Vehicle - Not Guilty

K. C. was charged with Breaking and Entering a Motor Vehicle. An Oakland County jury found Mr. C. not guilty. There was an eyewitness, an acquaintance of Mr. C., that saw him on the street very close to where the car was. This same eyewitness saw a person leaning inside the car. The defense theory was that the eyewitness was lying and not to be believed. The jury questioned the credibility of the eyewitness, and was persuaded that the prosecutor's burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt was not met.
