Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia
Thieft by receiving stolen property
My 23 year old son signed a ticket at a pawn shop for a girl and now is in jail for thieft by receiving stolen property. My son was on probation and I have not bailed him out because I was told he would only be picked up by the other county for probation violation. ( Is this true?) The girl was arrested for thieft and has bailed out of jail. So, my Son will go to trial before the girl does. I believe her grandmother will drop her charges. If so, can they charge him with receiving stolen property if she is not yet convicted with the thieft or never is?

Re: Thieft by receiving stolen property
A person can be convicted of theft by receiving even where the original thief is not convicted. I recommend contacting an attorney. Contact our office directly for information on representation or visit our website at www.federalcriminallawcenter.com.
