01-0774 State v. Rouse

By: dmc-admin//April 15, 2002//

Listen to this article

“Although it is true that Rouse’s crime was not the cause of the bank’s employees being paid their salaries, Rouse does not dispute that his conduct was a substantial factor in causing them to investigate his forgeries rather than perform other tasks. Viewed in this light, the damage incurred by the bank was not the payment of additional wages, but rather the loss of the value of its employees’ services for the time that they were diverted from doing other work.”

Order affirmed.
