Description
The facts disclose that during the day of January 30, 1967, the Phoenix home of Mr. and Mrs. John Davis was broken into and ransacked -- leaving the interior of their abode in a state of disarray. Several items of personal property were missing. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Davis was at home at the time the house was broken into. Mrs. Davis left home shortly after ten oclock a. m., and, as she was backing out of the driveway, she observed a car described as "a bright metallic, kind of green" color with three Caucasian men in it. At about 10:30 a. m. Mrs. Glenn Kunau, a neighbor, drove up to the curb of the Daviss house and parked. As Mrs. Kunau pulled up to the house she saw a new-model Chevrolet, "bright bluish-green in color," parked in the carport between the house and the storage room. As she got out of her car and started toward the house she saw a man in the carport come out of the storage room and walk to the kitchen door. Mrs. Kunau testified that when the man looked up and saw her "He jumped in the car real fast and just backed out as far as he could and took off." Because of the unusually hurried manner in which the man left the premises, Mrs. Kunaus suspicions were aroused, and she wrote down the license number of his car. The police showed Mrs. Kunau five or six pictures shortly after the burglary, and she identified one of the men in the pictures as being the same man as she had seen in the carport. She was not positive or certain about the identification from the pictures, but thought there was some resemblance. The police later brought Mrs. Kunau two or three other pictures and she picked one of those, claiming it was a better likeness of the man she had seen in the Davis carport. Both pictures selected were of defendant Robert Norgard. During the trial Mrs. Kunau positively identified defendant as the man she had seen in the carport of the Davis home the morning of the burglary.
