Clerk Magistrate Hearing
Client was a respected computer programmer and father. While vacationing in Massachusetts he picked up a abandoned piece of property that was in fact stolen. Although he was unaware it was still stolen item and the owner was looking for it. Eventually, client placed the item on EBAY.com and sold it to which the buyer determined it was stolen and client refunded the money. The original owner continued to advocate for client to be accountable which was a fair and reasonable desire, however, client was not the one who stole it. The police did an outstanding investigation which in the end helped determine that there was not enough evidence for this charge to move forward and the charge was dismissed before it began.
