$50 fine for 6th Theft Conviction

Charge(s):

CC: s. 334(b) – Theft under $5000

Allegations:

My client was recognized by a loss prevention officer as she entered the store. She was observed to place several items inside her bag and then exit the store without paying.

Result:

She had several prior convictions, including 2 frauds, one impersonation, and 3 thefts. Ordinarily this additional conviction would have resulted in a period of incarceration. However, I was able to negotiate a mere fine of only $50.
