P. v. Atwater CA4/1
INTRODUCTION
Defendants Steven Glen Atwater and Clifford Dewey Elliott appeal from their judgments of conviction after a jury trial. Both men were charged with and convicted of arson of property. On appeal, the defendants jointly argue that the evidence at trial was insufficient as a matter of law to support a conviction for arson of property, in violation of Penal Code section 451, subdivision (d).
Atwater separately contends that the trial court committed prejudicial error in instructing the jury on the legal principles regarding arson of property, and that, given that there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction in this case, the trial court's order revoking Atwater's probation in a separate case must also be reversed and remanded to the trial court to reimpose probation.
