Evidence Used To Support A Theft Charge

Under Utah’s theft statutes section 76-6-403, in proving the theft offense certain evidence can be used to show a single offense embracing the separate offenses including:

  • receiving stolen property;
  • false pretense;
  • embezzlement;
  • larceny;
  • larceny by bailees;
  • larceny by trick;
  • blackmail; and
  • extortion.

An accusation of theft may be supported by evidence that it was committed in any manner specified in Sections 76-6-404 through 76-6-410, subject to the power of the court to ensure a fair trial by granting a continuance or other appropriate relief where the conduct of the defense would be prejudiced by lack of fair notice or by surprise.
