Outcome

The appellate court affirmed the defendant's forgery conviction, rejecting his argument that the statute required proof of specific alternative means. The court held that the five listed methods in the forgery statute represent facets of a single criminal conduct—fraudulent handling of a forged document—not alternative means requiring separate proof.
