How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

holding that this factor is appropriately applied to a defendant who embezzles from his or her employer
finding that the Appellant abused a position of private trust where she admitted to embezzling over $29,000 from her former corporate employer over an extended period of time
alternative sentence granted for embezzlement of $29,000 where State failed to establish confinement consideration of section 103
although theft of almost $30,000 from employer was serious, circumstances did not rise to level of outweighing all other factors in favor of alternative sentencing
use of enhancement factor (6) for theft offense may constitute \double enhancement\ in some circumstances because class of offense is based upon amount of money stolen, distinguishing Barbara D. Frank
in a theft and credit card fraud case, holding that “the seriousness of the offense alone supports the denial of alternative sentencing and that a sentence of confinement is necessary to avoid depreciating the seriousness of the offense”
