1. “In order to be guilty of embezzlement, a defendant must have been entrusted with lawful possession of the property prior to its conversion____ [A] showing that a defendant was given mere access to the property converted is insufficient. Often, an individual is entrusted with access to a particular place or thing without being given dominion and control over the property therein. This is particularly true in instances, like the present one, where the individual is expressly told that he is not allowed to touch the property in the place to which access is granted.”
