California Court of Appeal April 30, 1980, Crim. 10361 (People v. Wright)

REYNOSO, J.

I dissent. By today’s ruling the majority overturn prior law from this court (Young v. Superior Court (1967) 253 Cal.App.2d 848 [61 Cal.Rptr. 355]) and hold that a defendant may be convicted of an attempt to receive stolen property when the property was in fact not stolen. May it be said that a boy who jumped into a waterless, summer California river attempted to swim in water?
