Syllabus

Forgery; receiving stolen property; sufficiency of the evidence; identity. Affirmed. The defendant's convictions relating to an altered check were not based on insufficient evidence. Based on the evidence presented, a rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crimes based on circumstantial evidence, which included the check clearing in the defendant's business bank account, the check's endorsement matching the defendant's name, the funds being immediately transferred to a CashApp account that bore a username similar to the defendant's name, and signature comparisons that matched defendant's signatures on official documents.
