Dismissal of Shoplifting Charge From West Covina Mall
- Theft
Dismissed
Our client is a young man in the financial sector. He was apprehended for
Petty Theft (violations of California Penal Code Sections 484(a) &
488 PC). If convicted, our client stood to lose not only his freedom (up
to one year in the county jail!), but also the illustrious financial career
for which he had worked so hard. Our West Covina petty theft charges defense
attorneys sprung into action. We challenged the evidence against our client,
as well as presented a series of mitigation factors to diminish the severity
of the charge against our client. Sure enough, a judge at the Citrus Courthouse
(West Covina Courthouse) DISMISSED the petty theft charges against our
client (in favor of a minor infraction). In so doing, we were able to
protect our client from the ruination of his life.
