State v. Thomason
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of aggravated grand theft by deception over $100,000 and sentenced to a term of twenty-five years. On appeal, Defendant argued that the trial court erred by refusing to grant his motion for judgment of acquittal, failing to instruct the jury regarding the defense of advice of counsel, and instructing the jury that it should consider Defendant’s flight as it related to consciousness of guilt. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that there was insufficient evidence to prove that Defendant obtained the “property of another” worth over $100,000, and consequently, the circuit court erred by not granting Defendant’s motion for a judgment of acquittal.
