State of Tennessee v. Michael Webster

Case Number
M2012-00713-CCA-R3-CD

The Defendant, Michael Webster, challenges his bench trial conviction for theft of property, over $500, a Class E felony, contending that there was insufficient evidence presented at trial to prove his knowing commission of the offense and that the value of the property exceeded $500. After a review of the record and the applicable authorities, we conclude that the evidence was insufficient to prove that the property at issue exceeded $500, modify the conviction to theft of property, $500 or less, a Class A misdemeanor, and remand the case to the trial court for resentencing.
