Recent Theft Crime Cases
Larceny from the Person (Commonwealth v. C.L. New Bedford District Court, March, 2024). Dismissed.
Attorney Caramanica’s client had her case dismissed on the date of trial when the alleged victim failed to appear – despite being summonsed for trial.
Commonwealth v. J.A. (Attleboro Dist. Court, November, 2021)
JA was charged with receiving stolen property (an ATV) after police received information the stolen ATV was in his yard. At trial, during cross-examination, the arresting officer admitted the JA was cooperative when confronted with the allegations and even delivered a handwritten bill of sale with contact information of a neighbor that saw the ATV being delivered to the defendant’s home. Although the bill of sale was false, Attorney Caramanica persuaded the court that there was no evidence that JA knew it was false. JA was found not guilty.
