Felony Charges of Larceny from an Elderly Person Nolle Prossed

Our client and the “victim” (husband) were married for many years. A nasty divorce precipitated this case. According to a police report, our client stole checks from her husband and deposited them into her own bank account. The funds totaled in excess of $1,200 making the felony larceny in accordance with Massachusetts laws. She was charged with larceny from an elderly person in violation of G.L. c. 266 section 30(5). Our office was able to demonstrate that none of the money went into our client’s account. We also showed that the husband had lied in the probate court and during a clerk magistrate that occurred before we were hired for the case. This information was provided to the district attorney’s office. After reviewing the documents we submitted the district attorney agreed that the victim was lying. A nolle prosse was filed. All charges were dismissed.
