P. v. Simpson
An information charged Simpson with one count of grand theft by embezzlement. ( 487, subd. (a).) A jury trial followed. Debra Stephenson, the owner of TWC Educational Programs, Inc., testified that she had employed Simpson as an office manager. Stephenson identified 10 business checks written between November 24, 2004, and December 28, 2004, exceeding $400, that had been cashed without her authorization. In defense, Simpson testified that Stephenson's husband, Jonathan Schrieber, gave him the checks to process and obtain cash for on his behalf. In rebuttal, Schrieber testified and denied giving Simpson the checks to cash. Schrieber stated that he did not have the authority to sign or stamp checks on Stephenson's behalf.
Court have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that Simpson's attorney has fully complied with her responsibilities and that no arguable issue exists. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)
