Larceny Over $250 – Nolle Prosequi

Our client, a 49-year-old gentleman who worked for a local corporation was accused of stealing just under $3 million worth of merchandise over the course of the last several years through, his employment. Despite video surveillance, depicting our client loading merchandise onto various trucks that appear at the loading dock, attorney Casale was able to convince the prosecutors that further prosecution would prove less than fruitful as they lacked essential evidence that would link our client to the losses. They just couldn’t put it together. After almost 1.5 years of discovery requests and in-depth conversations and negotiations, the prosecution finally admitted that they just couldn’t prove their case and decided to go no further. Our client’s holidays were that much brighter with the charges Nolle Prossed two weeks before Christmas.

Criminal Harassment – Not Guilty – Jury Verdict
