Description
Sherman L. Boothe, Sr. was convicted of construction fraud pursuant to Code § 18.2-200.1, based on a charge that he fraudulently obtained a $200 advance of money upon an unfulfilled promise to install a septic system and a driveway. The issues presented in this appeal are: (1) whether a septic system is a "structure" within the meaning of Code § 18.2-200.1; and (2) whether the evidence was sufficient to support a finding that Boothe entered into the contract with intent to defraud. We find that a septic system falls within the scope of Code § 18.2-200.1; however, we reverse the conviction because we find the evidence insufficient to establish fraudulent intent.
