Sonya Stark appeals her conviction and sentence for the crime of theft in the third degree. Stark argues the district court applied the wrong standard when ruling on her motion for a new trial. Also, she argues there was insufficient evidence in the record to support a conviction of theft in the third degree. OPINION HOLDS: We find the district court did not apply the wrong standard when ruling on the motion for a new trial. In addition, we find there was sufficient evidence to support a finding of theft in the third degree.
