Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by The defendant, Kimberly Wilcox, was charged in Atchison
District Court with two counts of making a false writing. The
trial judge dismissed the complaint, ruling that the charges were
not brought under the proper statute. The State appeals pursuant
to K.S.A. 22-3602(b)(1). The facts are not in dispute. In September 1987, the State of
Kansas, through the Department of Social and Rehabilitation
Services (SRS), issued a warrant for the payment of $50 to
Kimberly Wilcox to assist her in the care of her children. In
October, she informed the Atchison SRS office that she had not
received her September check. She then signed a lost warrant
statement claiming she had never received the September check. In
November, SRS discovered that the September check, with
defendant's signature, had cleared the bank. At this time,
defendant signed an affidavit that she had not received the
September check. She also gave handwriting exemplars which were
later compared to the signature on the check. Apparently the
handwriting expert determined that defendant's signature was on
the check. She was then charged with two counts of making a false
writing.
