Massachusetts Appeals Court January 16, 1981 (Commonwealth v. Ryan)

The defendant appeals from his conviction by a District Court judge on a complaint charging him with receiving a stolen drum of anti-freeze (G. L. c. 266, § 60). He claims that there was insufficient evidence that the drum of anti-freeze was, in fact, stolen or that he knew it was stolen and, therefore, his motions for a required finding of not guilty should have been allowed.
