Summarized by Rankin Johnson, OCDLA

Cutting a safe open after it was taken from the owner was not theft by taking. Reversed and remanded.
Defendant was charged with, inter alia, aggravated theft, which could have been theft by taking or theft by receiving. In denying defendant's MJOA and his related jury-instruction-like argument as to one theory of aggravated theft, the trial court erred even though defendant was potentially guilty under other theories.

EVIDENCE - Other bad acts
