Hi All,
As you know, Alla’s pre-trial hearing
was yesterday morning. The following is a summary of what took place:
- The
DA dropped the charge that said that she was in violation of
Virginia Code Section
18.2-97
§ 18.2-97. Larceny of certain animals and poultry.
Any person who shall be guilty of the larceny
of a dog, horse, pony, mule, cow, steer, bull or calf shall be guilty of a Class 5 felony; and
any person who shall be guilty of the larceny of any poultry of the value of $5 dollars or more, but of the
value of less than $200, or of a sheep, lamb, swine, or goat, of the value of less than $200, shall
be guilty of a Class 6 felony.
- The charge based on Section 18.2-117 still
stands.
§ 18.2-117. Failure of bailee to return animal, aircraft, vehicle
or boat.
If any person comes into the possession as
bailee of any animal, aircraft, vehicle, boat or vessel, and fail to return the same to the bailor,
in accordance with the bailment agreement, he shall be deemed guilty of larceny thereof and receive
the same punishment, according to the value of the thing stolen, prescribed for the punishment of the larceny of goods
and chattels. The failure to return to the bailor such animal, aircraft, vehicle, boat or vessel, within
five days from the time the bailee has agreed in writing to return the same shall be prima facie
evidence of larceny by such bailee of such animal, aircraft, vehicle, boat or vessel.
- A
trial date (by jury) was set for Sept. 11th, 2008.
- As
for the motion to return Alla’s personal property, the DA seemed
to have forgotten
that it had not been returned.
That’s pretty much the gist of what
happened at the hearing…..and it goes on......
