Defendant specifically argues the trial court improperly allowed the State to use current market value to establish the value of property stolen in the past. Defendant was allowed to make a standing objection to valuation testimony. This is the error that was preserved for review. As a general rule, issues not presented in the trial court may not be raised for the first time on appeal. Reasonable standard includes but is not limited to market value within the community, actual value, or replacement value.
Valuation is determined at the time the property is stolen.
The error preserved by defendant is not well taken. We affirm on this issue. Defendant's second contention is there is not evidence to support the degree of the offense with which the defendant was charged. A verdict will be upheld where there is substantial evidence to support the charge. Substantial evidence means such evidence as could convince a rational trier of fact the defendant is guilty of the crime charged beyond a reasonable doubt.
