Case Brief Summary & Legal Analysis
tl;dr: Defendant helped friends strip tires from a car they had stolen the previous day. The court held he was not guilty of larceny because the crime was complete before his involvement began, making him a possessor of stolen goods, not a thief.
Legal Significance: This case clarifies the temporal scope of larceny for accomplice liability. A defendant must assist while the crime is in progress; once asportation has ceased, subsequent assistance constitutes a different crime, such as criminal possession of stolen property, not larceny.

Case Facts & Court Holding
Key Facts & Case Background
An employee of a car dealership discovered that a new Lincoln Continental had been stolen. Later that day, police found the car abandoned some distance from the dealership. The wheels and tires, with an aggregate value of $750, were missing. The defendant’s fingerprints were found on the car’s rear fender skirts. In a statement to police, the defendant admitted that he knew the car had been stolen the previous night. He stated that he did not participate in the initial theft of the vehicle but, on the day after the theft, assisted two friends in removing the wheels and tires and loading them into their own car. The defendant was indicted for grand larceny in the third degree for the theft of the wheels and tires, not the car itself. At trial, the prosecution presented no evidence linking the defendant to the initial taking of the car from the dealership. The jury convicted the defendant, but the Appellate Division reversed, concluding the evidence was insufficient to establish larceny.
Court Holding & Legal Precedent
Issue: Can a defendant be convicted of larceny as an accomplice if their participation begins after the principal thieves have already completed the asportation of the stolen property and moved it to a new location?
No. The court affirmed the reversal of the defendant’s conviction, holding that Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
