Evans v. Commonwealth

GORDON, R.J.,

delivered the opinion of the Court.

Ernest Earl Evans and James Elmer Smith, Jr., appeal convictions of petit larceny by embezzlement. The court sentenced each to a term of 30 days in jail and a fine of S1000.

Evans and Smith were employed as salesmen in the investment division of Central Fidelity Bank. They submitted their resignations in August 1981 and began employment with a competing bank at the end of the month. When they left Central Fidelity, they took with them a computer printout belonging to that Bank. This taking led to the indictments and convictions and to this appeal.
