FACTS: Sam Kant, stands convicted of shoplifting/petit larceny (as dictated by your state statutes) from Bilmart, a national department store. At his wife’s request, Mr. Kant went to Bilmart on Wednesday, ______, 20___, and purchased a case of six 4 oz. cans of Hoover’s Baked Beans with Bacon. Upon returning home, his wife chastised him for once again failing to purchase what she had requested. Apparently, Mrs. Kant can’t stand the taste of Hoover’s Beans, but is very fond of the Handell’s brand, and was planning to serve them to her book club when she hosted them for lunch the following afternoon. Mrs. Kant ordered her husband to return to Bilmart to exchange the Hoover’s beans for Handell’s Beans.
Upon arrival at the store early the next morning, Mr. Kant found that the line for customer service was extremely long due to Bilmart’s annual sponsorship of a major community food drive. In an effort to save time, and thinking the line might be shorter upon his return, Mr. Kant placed the case of Hoover’s beans into a shopping cart, made his way through the store to the bean shelf, and then added the Handell’s beans to the cart.

FACTS: Sam Kant, stands convicted of shoplifting/petit larceny
(as dictated by your state statutes) from Bilmart, a national
department store. At his wife’s request, Mr. Kant went to
Bilmart on Wednesday, ______, 20___, and purchased a case of
six 4 oz. cans of Hoover’s Baked Beans with Bacon. Upon
returning home, his wife chastised him for once again failing to
purchase what she had requested. Apparently, Mrs. Kant can’t
stand the taste of Hoover’s Beans, but is very fond of the
Handell’s brand, and was planning to serve them to her book
club when she hosted them for lunch the following afternoon.
Mrs. Kant ordered her husband to return to Bilmart to exchange
the Hoover’s beans for Handell’s Beans.
Upon arrival at the store early the next morning, Mr. Kant found
that the line for customer service was extremely long due to
Bilmart’s annual sponsorship of a major community food drive.
In an effort to save time, and thinking the line might be shorter
upon his return, Mr. Kant placed the case of Hoover’s beans
into a shopping cart, made his way through the store to the bean
shelf, and then added the Handell’s beans to the cart. However,
upon his return, the line had not diminished and it was obvious
that Sam would be waiting a considerable amount of time to
formalize the exchange. Fearing the wrath of his wife should he
not return in time for lunch, Sam placed the case of Hoover’s
3. beans inside a cart filled with what appeared to be merchandise
returns in need of re-stocking. With the desired Handell’s beans
in the shopping cart, Mr. Kant then proceeded to the store’s
exit. As he neared the doors, Mr. Kant was approached and
detained by store security, who witnessed Sam’s actions, and
police were called to the store. Apparently, the cart into which
Sam had placed the Hoover’s Beans did not contain returned
items to be shelved, but rather, donations to the Bilmart
Community Food Drive. Officers Kopp and Slickman
questioned Mr. Kant and then cited him for Shoplifting.
A) Phrase the legal issue or issues as they will be raised on

C) Locate, correctly cite and provide the text of the statute from

D) Based on your current residency, name the court in which
Sam Kant would have been tried and convicted. Then, locate,

court opinion that you can argue in Kant’s appeal.
