People v. KM
Client was charged with Felony Theft. It was alleged that our Client, a truck driver, stole a trailer full of tires valued at approximately $85,000 during the course of his employment. The prosecution had video of the truck showing the truck number that our Client admitted to driving while pulling the stolen trailer. In a pre-trial conference, the Judge was adamant that he would not offer our Client a deal for probation...any deal would consist of a prison sentence of between 3-7 years of incarceration. We took the case to trial. After vigorous cross examination of all of the prosecution's witnesses, the Judge stopped the trial to hold a conference. During the conference, the Judge conceded that the Prosecution's case was not as strong as he initially believed. As a result, we were able to cut a deal for our Client for only 18 months of probation and NO RESTITUTION!
