  1. People v. Prantil

    169 Cal.App.3d 592 (Cal. Ct. App. 1985)   Cited 8 times

    Frank G. Prantil appeals from the judgment after a jury convicted him of forgery by uttering or making use of a forged check under Penal Code section 470.(1) Uttering requires a person pass or offer to pass a forged instrument with knowledge of the forgery and with the specific intent to defraud. ( People v. Hellman (1961) 189 Cal.App.2d 777, 778-779 [ 11 Cal.Rptr. 433].) The jury decided Prantil had the requisite criminal knowledge and intent when on September 4, 1981, he indorsed and deposited a stolen $53,500 check bearing the forged indorsement of Joanna F. McKnight into his trust account.
