Theft of Property, Shoplifting, Breaking and Entering, Burglary, Arson, Vandalism, and Trespass are all common property crime charges . Many of these are serious felony charges. Each charge has a number of elements the state must prove in order to convict on that charge. Often these charges may be asserted on unreliable evidence. An eyewitness account can be unreliable or video footage could be unclear or inconclusive.The evidence presented to prove each of the elements of the crime can be attacked, often with effective defenses. If only one element can be proven false, then the state loses, regardless of how many other elements existed with adequate evidence.
Speaking with police and detectives prior to consulting your Alabama criminal defense attorney is a huge mistake. The evidence in these type cases needs to be analyzed by a defense attorney who understands property crime defense , who can advise you where you stand with your case.
