Cite as 2015 Ark. App. 658 ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS DIVISIONS I & IV No. CR-15-79 A.I.M. Opinion Delivered: November 12, 2015 APPELLANT APPEAL FROM THE CRAIGHEAD V. COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT , WESTERN DISTRICT STATE OF ARKANSAS [NO. JV2005-79] APPELLEE HONORABLE LEE FERGUS, JUDGE REVERSED WAYMOND M. BROWN, Judge Appellant appeals from the circuit courts adjudication of his delinquency on charges of theft by receiving, a Class C felony, and minor in possession. Appellants sole point on appeal is that the circuit court erred by failing to grant his motion for directed verdict where the only evidence came from the testimony of a codefendant who had pled guilty to charges prior to appellants trial. We reverse appellants adjudication based on the analysis in a companion opinion decided today. See D.F. v. State, CR-15-78. Reversed. VIRDEN, HARRISON, KINARD, and GLOVER, JJ., agree. GLADWIN, C.J., dissents. ROBERT J. GLADWIN, Chief Judge, dissenting. I dissent based on the same rationale expressed in D.F. v. State, 2015 Ark. App. 656. Terry Goodwin Jones, for appellant. Leslie Rutledge, Atty Gen., by: Kristen C. Green, Asst Atty Gen., for appellee.
