People v. Bensen

Defendant, who an 80-year-old man had hired as his personal secretary, was convicted, after jury trial, of aggravated identity theft. Convictions for theft and financial exploitation of an elderly person were merged with that conviction. When Defendant charged her unauthorized purchases, she used the business credit card issued in her own name, and thus she did not misrepresent herself as someone else. (BURKE and BIRKETT, concurring.)
