Theft Accomplice Legal Guidance

Summary

In Minnesota, being charged as an accomplice in a theft case means you could face similar penalties as the primary offender. The prosecution must prove you knew about the theft and intended to assist. If denied a public defender, reapply by explaining your financial situation. Gather evidence to show lack of intent or knowledge, and consider reaching out to local legal aid organizations for support. If the primary offender is incarcerated, it may help your case if you can demonstrate you were unaware of their actions. Stay informed about your court proceedings and follow up with the court for updates.
