Description
The appellant, Larry Sneed, was convicted by a jury of the offense of passing a worthless check. Mr. Jones, whose testimony was preserved by deposition because of his ill health, stated that Sneed had persuaded him to accept Sneeds check for $25,000 in exchange for a check drawn on Joness bank in the amount of $25,000. The exchange occurred on a Saturday. Sneed told Mr. Jones that he needed to procure a certified check for a business transaction which was to take place on Monday. Since the Monday in question was Memorial Day, a bank holiday, and Sneeds bank was not open on Saturday, he proposed to Jones, whose bank was open on Saturday, that the two "swap checks." Mr. Jones agreed to the exchange because he had both a business and a personal relationship with Sneed dating back several years. When Sneeds check was first presented for payment, it was dishonored because there were insufficient funds in the appellants account. When Mr. Jones contacted Sneed and informed him of the instruments presentment and dishonor, Sneed stated that there must have been some sort of mistake and urged Jones to run the check through the bank a second time. When Mr. Jones did so, he learned that Sneeds account had been closed.
