State v. Hodsdon
Annotate this CaseAppellant was charged with improperly accepting more than $109,003 in benefits from MaineCare by misrepresenting the composition of her household. After a jury-waived trial, Appellant was convicted of one count of theft by deception. Appellant appealed, arguing that the State did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that her deception resulted in the taking of the property of another and that the evidence was insufficient to support the conviction. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that there was sufficient evidence to find that Appellant committed theft by deception when she intentionally misrepresented that her two minor children lived with her fifty percent or more of the time.
