Court of Appeals of Washington July 19, 2004, No. 52266-3-I (State v. McConville)

Agid, J.

James McConville appeals his conviction of one count of first degree theft. He argues that the State lacked sufficient evidence, independent of his confessions, to prove the corpus delicti of the crime charged. The trial court rejected this claim because the corpus delicti rule governs whether confessions are admissible and Mc-Conville had already stipulated to their admission.
