Just before 5 a.m., Mari Linkosky suddenly awoke to see a man standing a few feet away from where she had been sleeping in the second-floor lounge of her sorority house. The intruder did not see her and left the room. Linkosky woke up two of her sorority sisters, and they called the police. Officers searched the house and found D in the basement. D had entered the house through an unlocked back door, which opened into a small storeroom. Another door in the storeroom led to the interior of the house. D made his way to the second floor of the house, where Linkosky saw him, and proceeded back to the basement, where the police found him. D had a knife and apron strings in his back pockets. He had cut the apron strings from a waiter's apron hanging in the storeroom near the door through which he entered the house. D was holding a gray t-shirt that belonged to one of the women who lived in the house. He had taken the t-shirt from the laundry room, which was also near the point of entry. D was convicted of burglary. D appealing claiming the evidence was not sufficient to support a conviction.
