P. v. Bakeer
A jury convicted Taghrid F. Bakeer of grand theft (Pen. Code,[1] 487, subd. (a), count 1) and embezzlement from her employer, Daniel's Jewelers (Daniel's) ( 508, count 2). The court sentenced her to 5 years of probation on both counts, with 180 days of jail time. She also was ordered to pay $4, 990 in restitution for the wholesale cost of the watches she stole, plus $3,700 to the victims who purchased the watches from her.
Bakeer contends she was erroneously convicted on the two counts because the crimes have the same elements; and, the restitution to Daniel's was excessive because the watches were returned to the store. Court affirm in part and reverse in part.
