The appellate court dismissed the defendant's appeal regarding the conviction for the criminal act of theft. The defendant argued that the prosecution failed to prove the specific intent required for the crime, while the prosecution maintained that the objective elements were sufficient. The court ruled that the statutory definition of the offense does not mandate a specific mental state beyond general intent, thereby upholding the original sentence.
