| Issues: |
Appellant's Statement of the Issues: I. The evidence was legally insufficient to sustain the convictions in that no rational factfinder could have found the essential element of jurisdiction beyond a reasonable doubt. II. It was reversible error to admit letters into evidence over Noorlun's objection when there was no proof that letters purported to be Noorlun's were ever mailed, nor was there any direct proof that the letters were received by the person to whom they were addressed. III. It was reversible error to deny Noorlun's request for a jury instruction fully informing the jury on the law of renewals on notes, and not to include the language, "[A] note is renewed when a new note evidencing the same obligation is executed and delivered by the maker to the holder of the old note." IV. The evidence was legally insufficient to sustain the convictions in that no rational factfinder could have found the essential element of a promissory note beyond a reasonable doubt. V. Six counts should be dismissed as a matter of law in that the preliminary examination occurred after the statute of limitations had run on those counts, and, as a matter of procedural law, the charging document, the Information, could not have been properly filed until after the preliminary examination. Appellee's Statement of the Issues: I.Whether the jury could rationally find that the jurisdictional element was met. II.Whether the Court had sufficient foundation to admit certain letters into evidence, over objection, when the recipient of the letter was not available to testify to receiving the letters. III.Whether the Court made reversible error in denying Noorlun's request for a jury instruction regarding renewal of notes. IV.Whether the jury had sufficient evidence to find the presence of a security. V.Whether six of the charges satisfied statute of limitations requirements when the criminal information was filed within the statute of limitations and no objection was made. | ||||||
