People v. V. R. (Penfield Tn. Ct. 12/15/16)

          Mr. Corletta helped an elderly client avoid the embarrassment and stigmatization of a Petit Larceny (shoplifting) charge in People v. V. R. (Penfield Tn. Ct. 12/16).

          In that case, the client took several items from a local grocery store without paying. The client was undergoing some financial and emotional stress at the time. The client was elderly and on disability. The client had never been arrested before and had led an otherwise outstanding life, until having been injured in a motor vehicle accident approximately 10 years ago. The disability not only ended the client's work career, but also caused the client to become depressed due to inability to do many things the client had done before.

          Mr. Corletta cited these factors to the Court and District Attorney, who consented to a straight dismissal of the charges, provided the client did not get into any trouble for a 6 month period, thereby preserving the client’s record.  The client, mortified, was extremely grateful. To further to assist the client, Mr. Corletta referred the client to a counselor so the client would have an outlet for some of the ongoing mental health issues.
