Property crimes are offenses involving the theft or intentional harm of another’s property. These offenses range in severity depending on the value taken and/or the means in which the property was procured. Some of the “minor” offenses, such as shoplifting, may not carry severe penalties in court but have lasting effects on one’s record. Not many employers would be interested in hiring individuals with any type of larceny on their record. Therefore, these cases need to be defended as aggressively as possible and Nathan Earwood does just that. In some cases, a deferred judgment is available that will leave the person accused with a clean record once all of the dust settles. If this is not an option, then the case must be thoroughly evaluated for any potential defense at trial.
Property Crime
Punishment for conviction of a property crime can vary from a fine and/or sixty days in jail to a life sentence in a penitentiary depending on the severity of the charge. Property crimes are categorized into two sections, stolen property (i.e. embezzlement or theft) and destroyed property (i.e. vandalism or arson). Property crime can be a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the allegation.
