Subsection (i) added by P.L. 29-072:2 (May 7, 2008).
COMMENT: (To Subsections (a) and (b)) § 43.50 differs from Guam
Penal Code, § 496, which requires knowledge that the property had been
stolen for conviction of receiving stolen property. In contrast, this Section
adopts a less demanding standard which adds a belief Athat it has probably
been stolen.@ With reference to either, this Section raises an inference of
the requisite knowledge when the dealer has been shown negligent in not
ascertaining if the seller had actual title to the goods. Such an inference
would be raised, for example, when a dealer bought from a seller large
quantities of expensive telephone cable knowing fully well that there are
only one (1) or two (2) legitimate owners of that item in Guam, neither of
which was the seller.
Nevertheless, § 43.50, by creating an Ainference@ only, allows the
dealer to attempt to convince the jury that he did not subjectively believe
that the property had probably been stolen, even though he failed to make
inquiry as to the seller's right to sell.
