How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- noting that the honoring of insider overdrafts is a general practice in the banking industry
- finding that point of error directed towards the quashing of subpoenas was moot in light of decision to grant retrial
- reversing and remanding where the jury instructions focused the jury on the intent element for a civil regulatory violation rather than the intent standard of the felony charged
- evidence of violations of civil banking regulation legally irrelevant to defendant's guilt for criminal bank fraud
- “After examining the record of the trial, one questions whether Christo was found guilty of willful misapplication with intent to injure and defraud the bank or ... for overdrafting his checking account.”
