Is inference of guilt permissible in a criminal case where stolen property is found in the conscious possession of a defendant?

"Where recently stolen property is found in the conscious possession of a defendant . . . an inference of guilt is permissible" (People v. McFarland (1962) 58 Cal.2d 748, 755 (McFarland)) if there is at least "slight corroboration in the form of statements or conduct of the defendant tending to show his guilt." (Id. at p. 754.) The jury must determine "whether or not the inference should be drawn in the light of all the evidence." (Id. at p. 755.) This rule "in no way shifts the burden of proof or destroys the presumption of innocence; the prosecution must still satisfy the jury of a defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt." (Id. at p. 756.)
