Grand Theft & Grand Larceny
Marion County Criminal Defense Lawyer
There are several things to know about theft. The two terms, grand theft and grand larceny, both indicate taking the property of another with the intention of making it one's own. One must have taken the stolen item from the possession of the owner in order to be convicted on thief charges. If one found it and put it to one's own use, it would not be considered as stolen. If someone took something but intended to return it, it would be borrowed and thus it would not be considered stolen.
These points serve to illustrate that there can be a variety of approaches to the argument for the defense, depending on the given situation. This time in your life may be stressful, but it is important that you work quickly and retain legal counsel. By retaining the help of a knowledgeable and determined Ocala criminal lawyer, can make all the difference in achieving a favorable outcome to your charges or not.
