Hatheway v. State

Four issues are raised in this appeal from appellants conviction for embezzlement. First, a challenge is made to the trial courts ruling, admitting evidence of other bad acts allegedly committed by the appellant. Second, appellant argues that the trial court erred in refusing to give his offered instruction concerning the effect of a mistake of fact which negates the requisite mens rea. Third, appellant contends that there was insufficient evidence to sustain the verdict of guilty. Finally, appellant claims that the jury verdict is inadequate to support the judgment and sentence because it does not contain a finding of the value of the property embezzled.
