Successful Defense And NOT GUILTY in Shoplifting Charge

In August 2018, the Law Office of Matthew Peterson achieved a significant victory by securing aNOT GUILTY in Shoplifting Charge for a client accused of shoplifting. This case was particularly critical as a conviction could have resulted in up to a year of incarceration.

The Case Details

The charges stemmed from an incident where the client’s companion failed to scan all items while exiting the store. Our criminal defense strategy hinged on demonstrating that our client was unaware of the theft and should not be held accountable for another’s actions. The judge ultimately sided with our argument, leading to a favorable outcome and a verdict of NOT GUILTY in Shoplifting Charge.
