Lyles v. State
Annotate this CaseAfter a trial before a commissioner, Defendant was convicted for misdemeanor criminal trespass after Defendant refused to leave a bank upon the request of the bank's manager and a police officer. Defendant appealed, contending that there was insufficient evidence to support any inference that he lacked a contractual interest in the property upon which he was accused of trespassing. The court of appeals reversed and vacated the conviction. The Supreme Court granted transfer and affirmed Defendant's conviction, holding that there was sufficient evidence from which a reasonable jury could infer that Defendant did not have a contractual interest in the bank's real property.
