- Written by Craig Conway, LLM
Facts
Allen (defendant) was convicted of obtaining $400 in money by false pretenses as agent for another individual. Thereafter, Allen applied for rehearing, arguing that the trial court erred in charging the jury that it did not matter whether the other person paid Allen the money from her own pocket or whether it was money Allen had collected and held for her as the agent. Allen appealed for a rehearing.
