Notes of Decisions
Evidence supported inference that defendant changed name with “intent to injure or defraud” where name change duplicated that used by another in connection with property interests subject to pending suit. State v. Belva Ray, 36 Or App 367, 584 P2d 362 (1978), Sup Ct review denied
Where trial judge found that defendant was “practically certain” that currency defendant passed was counterfeit, court applied correct legal test for element of knowledge required for crime of forgery. State v. Weissenfluh, 52 Or App 61, 627 P2d 517 (1981), Sup Ct review denied
Evidence was sufficient for trial court to conclude that defendant was aware $100 bill was counterfeit and that defendant had generalized intent to defraud. State v. Weissenfluh, 52 Or App 61, 627 P2d 517 (1981), Sup Ct review denied
Where defendant signed his own name to stolen traveler’s check, he did not falsely make or complete written instrument purporting to be authentic creation of ostensible maker or authorized by ostensible maker and did not commit forgery. State v. Blake, 93 Or App 128, 760 P2d 1369 (1988)
