Theft, a term that encompasses various offenses involving the unauthorized taking of another's property, can have serious legal consequences in the State of Florida. Understanding the intricacies of theft criminal acts, the types of theft crimes, conviction penalties, and defense strategies is crucial for anyone facing such charges. THEAMLAWYERS, P.A., with their extensive experience in handling theft defense cases in Orlando and throughout Central Florida, stands as a beacon of advocacy for the accused.

What Constitutes a Theft Criminal Act in Florida?

In Florida, theft is defined as knowingly obtaining or using, or endeavoring to obtain or use, the property of another with the intent to, either temporarily or permanently, deprive the other person of a right to the property or a benefit from the property. This broad definition captures various forms of theft, from petit theft involving smaller amounts to grand theft concerning more valuable property.

Types of Theft Crimes in Florida

Theft crimes in Florida are categorized based on the value of the stolen property and the circumstances surrounding the theft. The main types include petit theft, grand theft, robbery, burglary, and fraud-related theft. Petit theft pertains to property valued at less than $750, while grand theft involves property valued at $750 or more. Robbery and burglary involve additional elements of force or unlawful entry, respectively.

Potential Conviction Penalties for Theft in Florida

Conviction penalties for theft in Florida are tiered according to the severity of the offense. They range from misdemeanors, which may result in fines and jail time, to felonies, which can lead to more significant fines and longer prison sentences. For instance, theft of property valued between $750 and $20,000 can result in up to 5 years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

Burden of Proof for Theft Convictions in Florida

The burden of proof in theft cases lies with the prosecution, which must establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. This includes proving the defendant's intent to steal and the actual commission of the theft.

Potential Defense Strategies in Theft Cases

Defense strategies in theft cases can vary widely but often hinge on refuting the prosecution's evidence of intent or the act itself. Common defenses include lack of intent, consent, mistaken identity, duress or coercion, and challenging the evidence's credibility.
