Receiving stolen property is wrongful if it is without justification or excuse. The actual thief is not criminally liable for receiving the property stolen; however, a principal to the larceny, when not the actual thief, may be found guilty of knowingly receiving the stolen property but may not be found guilty of both the robbery and acquiring the property.
