No jail after $13,000 grand larceny in Manhattan and then a second theft case

Lance’s client was caught stealing property worth over $13,000 before it could be delivered to its rightful owner. Client, before consulting with us, gave a partial confession and was arrested and charged with grand larceny in the third degree, a class D felony that could have resulted in up to a 7 year jail sentence. Our client contacted us for help. While we were defending this case, our client was arrested again for another larceny. In reviewing the evidence and talking with the prosecutor, we were able to negotiate a good outcome under the circumstances where both cases would be resolved with only a single guilty plea to larceny but with no jail and no probation, and the second case would be dismissed.
