Case Overview

This case involved a client booked on charges of larceny who was facing police investigation. The client was in a critical situation, facing potential criminal punishment under the suspicion of arbitrarily acquiring another person's property. Maintaining their innocence, the client sought the help of Law Firm Theo, necessitating a proactive defense during the investigation stage.

Key Issues of the Case

On the surface, there appeared to be circumstances suggesting theft. However, it was unclear whether the "criminal intent" and "unlawful intent of possession" required for the crime actually existed, and objective evidence was lacking. Because the case was proceeding primarily based on the accuser’s statements, the core challenge was organizing logical and objective data to refute those claims.

Legal Assistance Provided

Law Firm Theo intervened from the early stages, reconstructing the facts to show that the client’s actions did not constitute theft. We meticulously organized the background of the incident, the situation at the scene, and the relationship between the parties. We submitted a legal opinion to the investigative agency emphasizing the lack of objective evidence and criminal intent, persuasively arguing that criminal liability cannot be recognized based on mere suspicion alone.

 

Result of Assistance 

After a comprehensive review of the submitted materials and the attorney’s opinion, the investigative agency determined there was insufficient objective evidence to prove the criminal charges. As a result, they issued a "No Charge (Non-transfer)" decision. The client was cleared of criminal risk, and Law Firm Theo once again proved the vital importance of early-stage intervention in investigations.
