    A woman was recently arrested for felony shoplifting because the value of the goods was over $100. The defense is arguing that the charge should be reduced to a misdemeanor because part of the goods were on sale and if the sale price was used to calculate the value the total would be less than $100. The prosecutor is saying that the sale price was good only if the customer showed a discount coupon! the results of this trial are yet to be heard.
