Merritt v. State

Ruffin, Judge.

Hope Merritt was indicted on three counts of felony theft by taking. After a bench trial on stipulated facts, the trial court found Merritt guilty on two of the counts. Merritt appeals, asserting that the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions and that the trial court erred in denying both his motion to quash the indictment and his plea of former jeopardy. Finding the evidence sufficient to support Merritt’s conviction on only one of the two counts, but no error in the trial court’s denial of his motions, we affirm in part and reverse in part.
