California Court of Appeal

Convictions for violating Penal Code section 424(a)(3), which prohibits those charged with control over the expenditure of public moneys from keeping false accounts or making false entries in accounts, are reversed where: 1) on remand from the Supreme Court of California, Stark v. Superior Court (2011) 52 Cal.4th 368, does not impact the previous reversal of conviction; and 2) there was insufficient evidence to support defendant's conviction, as there is no evidence that any public moneys were misused, lost, misappropriated, or placed at risk, or that anyone was unjustly enriched by virtue of the inaccurate timesheets at issue.
