FAHRNBRUCH, Justice.

In appealing her jury conviction of theft by shoplifting, Ellen J. Sexton claims, in summary, (1) that the statute under which she was convicted is overbroad and unconstitutional as applied and (2) that the trial court erred in (a) admitting certain evidence, (b) failing to direct a verdict in Sexton's favor, and (c) failing to give a requested jury instruction.

We affirm Sexton's conviction in the district court for Douglas County.
