Criminal Grand Theft Person Law

Criminal Grand Theft Person Lawyers

Grand Theft Person Law:

Grand theft person is when any property is stolen or taken directly from the person of another. More specifically, the property must have been on, attached to, or held by the person at the time of the theft in order to quality as grand theft person. The value of the property taken does not matter, only that it was physically taken off the person of another. Depending on the nature of the property stolen, the criminal history of the defendant, and the circumstances of the act, grand theft person can be charged as a felony or a misdemeanor.

Grand Theft Person Legal Issues:

In the case of being charged with a felony for grand theft person, the defendant can face up to three years in prison plus fines, a longstanding criminal record, and restitution. If charged with a misdemeanor, the defendant can face up to one year in county jail. Fines, a criminal record, and probation might also be included in the punishment. If the defendant is a repeat offender, the consequences can increase and be much more harsh than first time offenders might receive.
