  In \cite{FOY2014}, a sharp phase transition has been numerically observed
when a constrained convex procedure is used to solve the corrupted sensing
problem. In this paper, we present a theoretical analysis for this phenomenon.
Specifically, we establish the threshold below which this convex procedure
fails to recover signal and corruption with high probability. Together with the
work in \cite{FOY2014}, we prove that a sharp phase transition occurs around
the sum of the squares of spherical Gaussian widths of two tangent cones.
Numerical experiments are provided to demonstrate the correctness and sharpness
of our results.
