Description
The defendant was charged in an information with
the crime of arson in the first degree in violation
of General Statutes 53a-111.1 After a trial by
jury, he was found guilty. The defendant's motion to
set aside the verdict was denied by the trial court
and from the judgment rendered thereon he has appealed
to this court. The first assignment of error pursued by the
defendant in his brief is that the court erred in
failing to grant his motion to set aside the
verdict of guilty because it is contrary to the
law and the evidence. This claim is tested in
light of the evidence printed in the appendices to
the briefs. State v. Johnson, 166 Conn. 439, 440,
352 A.2d 294; State v. Mullings, 166 Conn. 268,
269, 348 A.2d 645; State v. Hall, 165 Conn. 599,
601, 345 A.2d 17; State v. Benton, 161 Conn. 404,
406, 288 A.2d 411; State v. Cobb, 159 Conn. 31,
32, 266 A.2d 393. As to the motion to set aside
the verdict, the evidence must be given a
construction favorable to sustaining the jury's
verdict; State v. Raffone, 161 Conn. 117, 121,
285 A.2d 323; but the verdict must be set aside if the
evidence is insufficient to justify the jury in
finding guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
