Text: In arguing that the evidence fails to sufficiently establish that they were the perpetrators of the crime, the brothers make much of the fact that their version of the events of November 5 is plausible. That is certainly so, but the jury was under no requirement to believe their version of the events. State v. Pelton, 197 Neb. 412, 249 N.W.2d 484 (1977); State v. Fowler, 193 Neb. 420, 227 N.W.2d 589 (1975). The evidence establishing the corpus delicti, combined with the evidence which places the brothers at the scene, coupled with the testimony that William was seen carrying a pry bar while wearing gloves, supports the verdicts and consequently supports the judgments of the district court.
