The criminal attorney made the following arguments and appealed for leniency for the client.

Criminal Defense Attorney's Argument 1: Intent to Commit Theft

It was true that the client went near the supply cabinet, but there was no evidence that the client stole anything.

Moreover, the CCTV footage submitted by the other party did not show any unnatural behavior on the client's part.

It was therefore emphasized that the client had no intent to commit theft.

Criminal Defense Attorney's Argument 2: The Gain From the Theft

The client could not use the item for personal purposes, so there was no reason to steal it.

In addition, it was in a low price range, so even if it had been stolen, it would not have been of benefit to the client.

Accordingly, it was emphasized that the client would gain no benefit from the theft and had no reason to steal.

Criminal Defense Attorney's Argument 3: No Criminal Record

The client had not been subject to any police investigation other than this case.

In addition, the client denied his offense from beginning to end.

It was emphasized that the client consistently denies his offense and has never been subject to any criminal punishment.

4. Result of the Larceny Punishment Assistance: “Non-Referral”

As a result of the criminal attorney's assistance to the client, who was at risk of punishment for larceny, the police issued a non-referral decision, stating that there was no criminal suspicion.

The client expressed deep gratitude, saying that, thanks to the criminal attorney's assistance, he was able to avoid punishment for larceny.
