Massachusetts Man Who Fraudulently Holds Himself Out As A Lawyer Charged With Larceny
Larceny by scheme is defined as a series of thefts set in motion by a single criminal intent such that all such takings constitute one single act of larceny. In other words, the district attorney can aggregate the sum of all the thefts so that the total amount rises to the threshhold that makes this crime a felony. So what exactly will happen to Marmol? Assuming Marmol hires a Criminal Defense Lawyer Who Handles Cases in Lawrence, Massachusetts and there are no additional victims the case might be continued without a finding.
