Legal Question in Criminal Law in Massachusetts

Re: petty theft

The police will charge you if they believe they have enough evidence to establish that you were the perpetrator. Although you haven't provided enough information for me to evaluate your case, it seems like there are at least 2 factors at work -- first, if you worked for the victim, I assume you had access to the inside of the house. That would be one factor the police would likely consider. Secondly, you said that your fingerprints are on missing item. Although I don't know much about this case, I suppose that is another factor the police might consider.

Larceny

The short answer is yes.

Your problem is to defend yourself.

You should talk to no one, and certainly not post a detailed description on the internet.

The next person you should and must speak to is an attorney to analyze the case, and discuss your options.

If you seek further information or representation, you can call my office.

If you want to provide me with more essential information about the situation, or contact me, then I can provide me with the necessary details, so that I can evaluate what is going on, and give you my thoughts.

If you would like to consult with me, call me at my office.
