Property Crimes: Frequently Asked Questions
Will a first-time, low-value theft lead to prison?
In practice, first offenders involving small amounts who settle with the victim often obtain deferred prosecution or a commutable fine. Early assistance from a lawyer with settlement and the defense usually secures a better outcome.
What is the difference between embezzlement and theft?
Theft is taking property out of another's possession; embezzlement is keeping another's property already in your custody, such as failing to return entrusted funds. The elements differ, and so do the defense strategies.
Can a business embezzlement case be closed by settlement and withdrawal?
Business embezzlement is not a complaint-based offense, so the complainant cannot withdraw to end the case. However, returning the funds and settling remain important grounds for deferred prosecution, probation, or a lighter sentence.
