Theft
Misdemeanors
This was an interesting criminal case. The "victim" in the matter and his friends were at a local bar getting drunk. The "victim" stated that the Defendant came from nowhere, interjected himself into their conversation and pulled a weapon from his person, put it to his head and threatened the victim. His two buddies told a similar story, but there were inconsistencies throughout. The largest fact was 20-25 minutes later a gun was found in the "victims" car. The Defendant stated to Criminal Attorney Bradford Cohen that the "victim" showed a gun prior to him pulling his own gun. Before trial a plea was extended of probation on the felony charge. The Defendant refused to take the plea on a felony and requested trial, unless the State would offer a misdemeanor. The State refused. The State of Florida wasted your tax paying dollars to fly in the "victim" for trial. The trial was held over 3 days with several evidentary hearing being held on several issues. The State argued for 2 lessor included offenses of assault and reckless display of a weapon. The Defendant took the stand and explained his side of the story. The State also filed a Motion for Costs, to repay the State for all costs of prosecution if the Defendant was found guilty.
Embezzlement
Fort Lauderdale Criminal Lawyer Bradford Cohen has been handling cases involving Grand Theft since beginning his practice in 1997. Criminal Grand Theft cases can revolve around various crimes involving the theft of goods, monies, vehicles or anything of value over the amount of $300.00 US Dollars. Often this charge can accompany other charges such as operating without a builders license or embezzlement. There are various defenses to the charge of Grand Theft. Some involve detailed accounting in regards to the items or monies allegedly stolen. In one recent case, an individual came to the criminal law offices of Bradford Cohen charged with Grand Theft. The pharmacy where he was working accused him of taking 360 pills of Oxycodone. They tried to charge him with each pill at $11.00 US per pill. As soon as we were retained we immediately investigated how much 360 pills purchased at once would cost. The total was under $300.00. Thus, the state dropped the felony Grand Theft and filed it as a misdemeanor. Call us today for a consultation on Grand Theft Charge.
Drug Crimes
Many drug trafficking cases can also be charged either by State or Federal authorities. For example, if the narcotics are bought and sold in the same state, the case is typically charged by the State. However, if narcotics are bought in one state and sold in another state, or the deal is made over state lines it could be charged federally, along with other counts such as a conspiracy to transport. It is fairly easy for the Federal government to bring charges by simply providing some evidence that the crime has affected interstate commerce. Once charged with a crime, you can review the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, to see the recommended sentence.

Murder
Facts: This was a difficult case Miami Dade Criminal Case, involving 3 very badly wounded victims. The Defendant and several of his friends were alleged to have gone to a gentleman's club. This particular club has been known for violence in the past. Once inside the club one of the individuals with the Defendant began to smoke a joint. Seeing this the Bouncers attempted to throw him out. In the process they began to violently shake and hit the individual. A fight breaks out in the parking lot. The allegations are that the Defendant then goes to his car retrieves a.45 caliber auto handgun and opens fire on the crowd of bouncers. One of the bouncers was hit in the knee cap, one in the abdomen, one in the leg and one in the elbow. Two of the individuals the Defendant was with "flipped" and gave statements implicating him as the shooter. Originally, the Defendant had no bond on the matter. This was a LIFE FELONY that was charged.
Homicide
(1) The killing of a human being by the act, procurement, or culpable negligence of another, without lawful justification according to the provisions of chapter 776 and in cases in which such killing shall not be excusable homicide or murder, according to the provisions of this chapter, is manslaughter, a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
Restraining Order
March 31, 2009, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order, finding that the girls (and their mothers) were likely to prevail in a civil rights lawsuit against Wyoming County District Attorney George Skumanick, and enjoining Skumanick from making good on his threat to file felony charges against the girls unless they agreed to participate in a five-week “educational” program. The minor girls were represented in the civil rights suit by their parents and the American Civil Liberties Union. Filing suit under a federal statute and alleging violation of their civil rights, the teens' ACLU attorneys offered three central claims. First, because the photos so obviously did not qualify as child porn under state law—and because it would be perverse in any event to consider the girls culpable for photographs circulated by others without their consent—Skumanick's threat amounted to retaliation for engaging in speech protected by the First Amendment. Second, the use of that frivolous threat to attempt to bully the teens into an education program—a threat that was effective in compelling the participation of the other boys and girls Skumanick targeted—encroached upon the constitutionally protected rights of parents to direct their children's upbringing. Finally, the requirement within that program that the girls write an essay explaining “what you did” and “why it was wrong" amounted to compelled speech, again a First Amendment violation.Final resolution of those claims will have to wait—an initial hearing is scheduled for June. But Judge James M. Munley ruled that the plaintiffs had a sufficiently good chance of succeeding in their suit and that he was prepared to take the rare step of issuing a temporary restraining order that preemptively blocks Skumanick from filing charges against them. "Plaintiffs make a reasonable argument that the images presented to the court do not appear to qualify in any way as depictions of prohibited sexual acts," Munley wrote. In any event, the judge noted, Skumanick "does not appear to feel immediate prosecution is necessary to protect the public from the crimes that the girls here allegedly committed." Indeed, while Skumanick has painted his restraint thus far as an act of generosity, it does bear asking: if he
