Grand larceny of $10,000 stolen jewelry felony charges dismissed, no
jail
2020
Our client was
arrested for stealing an expensive piece of jewelry from the
complainant who filed a report with the NYPD. While the case was pending, our client
was subsequently
arrested for other related offenses. In analyzing the prosecutor’s evidence,
we became aware of a problem with the timeline they intended to use if
the case went to trial. Our client
contacted us. Our client was very interested in resolving it without a trial and we
were able to use the weaknesses in the prosecution’s case to urge
a much more lenient outcome than the 7 years in
prison our client was facing. The case was resolved with no felony, no
jail, no probation, and only a misdemeanor conviction and some restitution.
