State v. Chidester

OPINION

LESLIE, Judge.

Appellant James Chidester was charged in Sherburne County District Court with twenty-four counts of theft and two counts of aggravated forgery stemming from his misappropriation of funds belonging to Viola Chidester between April 16, 1983 and December 5, 1983. Following a court trial, appellant was found guilty of twelve counts of theft and two counts of aggravated forgery. Appellant contests the imposition of fourteen sentences on the grounds that it violates Minn. Stat. § 609.035 and that it unfairly exaggerates the criminality of his conduct. We affirm.
