California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Hathaway, 103 Cal.Rptr. 638, 27 Cal.App.3d 586 (Cal. App. 1972):
The transcript specifies with considerable particularity the acts which are alleged to have constituted each offense charged in the amended indictment. The evidence indicates that defendant filed claims for payment under the Medi-Cal program for services which he did not render, for drugs which he did not dispense at all, and for drugs more expensive than the ones he actually dispensed. The evidence clearly supports the inference that defendant committed these acts with knowledge that the claims were false, and with a specific intent to defraud the state. Furthermore, it is specified in the testimony which acts relate to each transaction listed in the indictment. (See People v. Jordan, 19 Cal.App.3d 362, 370--371, 97 Cal.Rptr. 570.) 11
