Re: embezzlement

Penal Code Section 503. Embezzlement is the fraudulent appropriation of property by a

person to whom it has been intrusted.

Fraudulent appropriation - fact(s)

of property - fact(s)

by a person - fact(s)

to whom it has been entrusted - fact(s)

The district attorney at the trial needs to put some fact(s) into evidence to satisfy each of these elements of the crime. It's as simple as that. You'll need to do some research on the word fraudulant. Unofficially it means some kind of trick or device to take or conceal the taking. This is my unofficial definition.
