No i dont need to connect with a local lawyer.. To be charged with burglary what steps do they take to make sure he was the one who commited the crime if he is not on camera and is wearing a facemask?.. Do they try to looknforn finger prints? And what if there wasnt any eyewitnesses? Just accusations of whom the person MAY BE no exact definites
Hey ****! In a burglary case, investigators often use multiple methods to identify a suspect, such as:
- Collecting fingerprints or DNA evidence from the crime scene.
- Reviewing any available surveillance footage.
- Gathering witness statements, even if they are not definitive.
- Analyzing any physical evidence found.
Have any of these methods been used in your cousin's case?
Im not sure he is just paranoid the cops havent been contacted yet
Case Rating: *
Hey ****! If the police haven't been contacted yet, your cousin might want to consider talking to a lawyer to get advice on how to proceed. Has your cousin considered returning the stolen item or discussing the situation with the homeowners?
No because the homeowners were ran off by the U.S customs and border patrol because they are illegal immigrants so indont forsee them coming back to gather there belongings
Case Rating: *
Hey ****!
Given the homeowners' situation, your cousin may face fewer immediate repercussions from them. However, the legal consequences for burglary remain serious. Returning the stolen item could still be a mitigating factor.
Would your cousin like to consult with a lawyer to possibly reduce any potential charges or penalties?
