5-25-10. GENERAL DEFENSE TO THEFT.

It is an affirmative defense to any prosecution for theft that the Defendant acted under an honest claim of right to the property or service involved, or that he had a right to acquire or dispose of said property or service as he did.

It is not a defense to theft that the actor has an interest in the property or services taken if any other person also has an interest that the actor is not entitled to infringe upon.
