STATE V. LANGFORD
467 So.2d 41 (Louisiana 1985)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This is an appeal of a theft conviction.
FACTS: Langford (D) applied for a $225,000 loan from Hibernia National Bank. D was rejected. D then opened a checking account with the bank. A clerical error on that account allowed unlimited overdrafts without charging D. After six months the bank discovered that D had been overdrawn by $848,879.39. The bank demanded that D return the money and D only offered to execute a note to the bank. D had received notification of the overdrafts but the bank threw away the reports before they were reviewed. D was convicted of theft and he appealed. D claimed that there was a lack of evidence regarding a nonconsensual taking because the bank could have dishonored the checks and an overdraft was merely a loan to the customer.
