theft-related cases to learn more about how he can build a case in your defense.
Were you intoxicated at the time of the alleged theft?
If it can be determined that you were intoxicated at the time the alleged
theft occurred, his team may be able to argue that your state of mind
did not allow for a true intent to steal, thus viably defending you against
a conviction.
Were you under the impression that the property you "stole" was
rightfully yours?
If, in good faith, you believed that the property you took was rightfully
yours, he may be able to protect you from a formal conviction. Typically,
this method of defense calls for the provision of some type of evidence
to support your claim.
Were you tricked into committing an act of theft, i.e. were you the victim
of entrapment?
If you were coerced into committing an act of theft, then the entrapment
defense can be used. In order to use this method of defense, his team
must be able to demonstrate that the idea or intent to steal was not originally
yours but rather was a product of trickery or misguided instruction.
Did you return the property that was allegedly stolen?
Finally, proving that you returned the stolen property for which you are
now on trial could greatly enhance your chances or receiving a reduced
sentence. Returning property is not a "get out of jail free"
card; however, it does present you in a better light to the court.
