A client of criminal lawyer Daniel Garcia was charged with stealing from vulnerable people (seniors) along with breach of trust in the context of a job relationship (aggravating circumstances), under section 334 of the Criminal Code.
Due to our client’s job, the suspended sentence and a criminal record were not a feasible option, which is why we decided to plead the sentence.
By acknowledging the true interest of our client, as well as the absence of harm to the public interest, despite a number of aggravating circumstances, the judge granted her a conditional discharge.
Our client must respect the following conditions: reimburse the amount involved in the infraction, not disturb the public peace, respond to summonses and maintain good behaviour, under an 18-month probation period.
In addition to the conditional discharge, our client was exempted from paying the fees or the surcharge.
Our clients don’t always receive a discharge. See notice.
