DEPRESSION MED: Amnesia: Woman Can’t Remember Taking Money: Canada
A provincial court judge said he could not convict a Nackawic woman of theft, despite finding her testimony unbelievable.
Judge John J. Walsh announced his decision in a Woodstock courtroom Friday morning, finding Julie Boone, 34, not guilty of the crime of theft under $5,000.
“Her explanations were not logical, nor were they rational,” the judge said as he read his decision.
Boone’s trial began in May, as former members of the Nackawic Community Days committee took the stand, testifying about the disappearance of approximately $800 raised at a dance in 2007, a dance held to raise money for Nackawic Community Days, a dance where Boone worked the door and was supposed to deposit the funds raised into an account for the committee.
