Mississippi Supreme Court November 23, 1970, No. 46041 (Slay v. State)

ETHRIDGE, Chief Justice:

James Slay, appellant, was convicted in the Circuit Court of Copiah County of grand larceny for stealing an automobile belonging to Hammond Ford Motor Company in Crystal Springs. We hold that the verdict is against the great weight of evidence on the issue of specific intent to deprive the owner of its property, and thus reverse and remand this case.
