Rounds v. Houghton

Rounds v. Houghton is a legal case that addressed whether a person can be convicted based solely on their presence at a crime scene, without additional evidence linking them directly to the criminal act. The court held that mere presence at a scene is not enough for a conviction; there must be evidence showing participation in or knowledge of the crime. This case emphasizes the importance of proving someone’s active involvement rather than assuming guilt based solely on being present.
