Does a defendant have to prove he took a vehicle without consent with intent to deprive the owner of possession or ownership for any period of time?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. La Corte, E066778 (Cal. App. 2018):

intended to deprive the owner of possession or ownership of the vehicle for any period of time. Therefore, evidence to prove those two elements would not be relevant to the commercial burglary, identity theft, or the forgery offenses in the current case. None of those charges require defendant to take or drive a vehicle without consent with the intent to deprive the owner. The evidence "was for the most part mutually exclusive." (People v. Hurtado, supra, 67 Cal.App.3d at p. 637.)
