Description

Bigbee was tried by jury and was convicted of theft.[Footnote 1] The trial court entered judgment on the verdict and sentenced Bigbee to imprisonment for an indeterminate period of one (1) to ten (10) years as required by IC 35-17-5-12 (Burns Code Ed. 1975). The manner in which Bigbee was charged and tried, the manner in which the jury was instructed, and the form of the verdict demonstrate that all concerned viewed the offense as one involving property of $100 or more in value, rather than the offense described in IC 35-17-5-3(1)(f) which covers the obtaining of property by threat, without regard to value. The latter offense, if the threat is of infliction of physical harm, carries the same penalty as theft of property having value of $100 or more. Compare IC 35-17-5-12(5)(g) with IC 35-17-5-12(3).
