Can a defendant be convicted where two witnesses (owners of the home) who observed two males from 15 feet in broad daylight come out of their house and who had an obstructed view testified that Elmes D.

Is it settled law that such a return by the jury is contrary to law and that settled? And if not, the verdict should be vacated, as such one.
