Blair v. State

  1. Van v. State

    230 A.2d 109 (Md. Ct. Spec. App. 1967)   Cited 12 times
    In Van v. State, 1 Md. App. 347, 230 A.2d 109, we reviewed the history of the larceny after trust statute and showed that it had been borrowed from the laws of Georgia. After reviewing the Georgia cases and considering the express language of the statute, we concluded that facts showing one to be guilty of embezzlement did not preclude his conviction under the larceny after trust statute as an alternative to an embezzlement conviction.

    In Bailey v. State, 84 Ga. App. 839, 67 S.E.2d 830 (1957) the Georgia Intermediate Appellate Court sustained a larceny after trust conviction of a corporation president converting to his own use corporate funds he had collected from third persons. In Blair v. State, 105 Ga. App. 835, 125 S.E.2d 668 (1962) the conviction of an automobile salesman for larceny after trust was upheld where the accused sold a car entrusted to him by his employer to deliver to a customer. Thus it appears that though the accused may be guilty of embezzlement, that of itself is no reason why he cannot, in the alternative, be guilty of larceny after trust.
