Bail

[Happy2408]

Hi does anyone know why if someone has been charged with theft x4 why is it going to magistrates court first before crown seems daft to me

[EDDIE51]

Happy2408 mentions 4x 100K

[EDDIE51]

^ We are assuming it is 4 x £100,000. That is all we are going on, we need a lot more information .

[jackthehat]

He mention theft 4x up to 100k......that could be 4 x £25k......it could be 4 things valued to £100k in total.....but like I say, it is all a bit detail-lite.

[Happy2408]

No in total was 100k from family members who gave them access to there bank accounts now there being accused if stealing money from there bank to there bank when they have them permission to

[jackthehat]

Obviously 'someone' doesn't believe that permission had been given.

[EDDIE51]

That makes it more complicated. I assume the case is taking a long time as there is a lot of investigation as to if the person had permission to take the money or not, hence the 4 lots of bail.
But if it is theft and the suspect is found guilty it could be worse than just a 'normal' theft as there is the loss of trust to be considered as well. That could push the sentence higher, but as said it is also going to be complicated.

"I assume the case is taking a long time as there is a lot of investigation as to if the person had permission to take the money or not"

If Happy already knows it is going to court then charges must have been laid and the investigations should therefore be completed.
