Yes the state must prove value over 300.000. Testimony from store clerk will suffice to prove value. Pls call if I can help.

So let's see, we will take this in two steps. Number one yes they have to prove it is a grand theft. This includes amount and the allegations. In regards to the allegations they can prove that several ways. Physical evidence is one way, but they can also prove it through testimonial evidence. That includes testimony from witnesses, managers, loss prevention employees, etc.

Good luck
