The defendant was charged with theft of a complainant's money and possession of stolen property.
The defendant admitted to using the complainant's credit and debit cards to make purchases totaling $1,207.43, but claimed the complainant had consented and given her the cards as gifts.
The court rejected the defendant's evidence as implausible, finding that the timing, frequency, and nature of the card usage, combined with the significant age difference and the complainant's medical condition, demonstrated the defendant did not have consent.
The court found the defendant guilty of fraud and possession of stolen property but acquitted her of theft of the cards themselves due to insufficient evidence regarding how she obtained them.
