Detailed Summary: The defendant A.A. was sentenced by the La Côte District Court to a fine of 2000 francs for fraud. She had cheated B.________, an acquaintance, out of 2000 francs by pretending to rent an apartment that she didn't have at all. A.A. appealed, arguing that she did not commit the act. She claimed that B.________ had voluntarily given her the 2000 francs to help her. The Court of Appeal upheld the District Court's ruling. The court concluded that the evidence against A.A. was unambiguous. B._______ had credibly testified that A.A. had offered her the apartment and she had given her the 2000 francs as rent.
