Description
Following a jury trial, Richard Hart was found guilty of grand theft. The district court withheld its judgment of conviction and placed Hart on probation for three years. Hart appeals, asserting that: (1) insufficient evidence existed from which the jury could find that Hart held the requisite intent to permanently deprive the owner of his property; (2) the court's refusal to allow inquiry into a juror's possible bias violated Hart's constitutional right to a fair trial; and (3) the district court erred in denying Hart's motion for a mistrial. For reasons which follow, we affirm the district court order. Richard Hart, his wife, Teri, and their two children lived with James Day during Teri's employment as Day's live-in housekeeper and aid. Day, a paraplegic, owned several guns, seven of which were kept in a locked gun cabinet. The cabinet was located in Day's exercise room which was locked when not in use. Certain individuals, including Richard Hart, were allowed to borrow the guns on occasion by obtaining the keys from Day before entering the room to take or return a gun. Hart used one of the guns whenever he went hunting or fishing.
