People v. Gibson, 210 P.2d 747 (1949)
Intent is an element of many criminal statutes. But intent is often difficult to prove directly. In People versus Gibson, the court considered whether the defendant’s intent to commit a burglary could be inferred from his actions and the surrounding circumstances.
At 12:30 AM, Percy Gibson entered an alley behind a department store and placed a ladder horizontally on the ground. He then walked along the edge of the building. A police officer noticed Gibson and ordered him to stop. The officer noticed that Gibson was wearing gloves. The officer arrested Gibson and took him to the police station. The officer then returned to the scene and found a sack containing various tools that could be used to commit a burglary, including a sledgehammer, flashlights, gloves, and a rope ladder. A search of Gibson’s pockets revealed two more flashlights, wire cutters, and a small coil of wire.
When questioned, Gibson admitted that he was planning to commit a burglary. He stated that he hadn’t decided which building to burglarize and was planning on selecting the building that seemed most promising after climbing on top.
Gibson was convicted of attempted burglary and appealed, arguing that his confession shouldn’t have been admitted into evidence without direct proof of the corpus delicti of the crime.
