Description
William H. Crandall, Jr., Judge Defendant, Gerald Conway, was charged with burglary in the first degree, Count I; stealing a firearm, Count II; and resisting arrest, Count III. The trial court accepted jury verdicts of guilty on Counts I and II and not guilty on Count III. Defendant was sentenced as a persistent offender to twenty-five years' imprisonment on Count I and a concurrent term of fifteen years' imprisonment on Count II. Defendant appeals, claiming seven points of trial court error. We affirm the conviction arising out of Count I and reverse and remand the conviction arising out of Count II. Because defendant does not challenge the sufficiency of the evidence, we briefly review the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict. On August 29, 1984, Mary Roemerman and her husband attended a concert. They returned home about 12:30 a.m. The Roemermans have two sons, Mike and Danny, who share a bedroom. At about 1:30 a.m., Mary went to her sons' bedroom to see whether Mike was home. As she entered the room she noticed that Danny's rifle case was on his bed, and that the bedroom door would not open completely. The bedroom light was on. Mary looked behind the door and saw a black man wearing blue jeans and no shirt. She described him as having ""wild hair"" and a beard and mustache. She stared at him for approximately one minute, then ran to wake her husband and Danny, who called the police. The man disappeared.
