Vernell HARRIS, Appellant, v. DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, Appellee.

District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided April 8, 2010.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

M. Azhar Khan, for appellant.

John J. Woykovsky, Assistant Attorney General, with whom Peter J. Nickles, Attorney General for the District of Columbia, Todd S. Kim, Solicitor General for the District of Columbia, and Roslyn Calbert Groce, Deputy Solicitor General, were on the brief, for appellee.

Before KRAMER and THOMPSON, Associate Judges, and NEBEKER, Senior Judge.

Vernell Harris appeals from her conviction on four counts of welfare fraud.
