State v. Christian
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury-waived trial, David Christian was convicted of three counts of theft by unauthorized taking, a Class D theft, and one count of theft by unauthorized taking, a Class E theft. Christian appealed, contending that the evidence was insufficient to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that he intended to deprive his employer of rent payments and that the court erred by classifying two counts as Class D theft rather than Class E theft. The Supreme Court vacated and modified the judgment, holding (1) the record contained sufficient evidence to support the court's findings regarding Christian's intent; but (2) the court erred in its classification of the contested counts. Remanded for resentencing.
