When a Los Angeles theft defense attorney represents a client, they can range from a young person who is down on their luck to someone who is much older. In one case in Torrance, a woman who is much older than the average criminal is in need of some major assistance from a Los Angeles theft defense attorney.

The woman, Doris Thompson, has a criminal record that dates back to 1955 and has operated under at least two dozen different aliases throughout the years. She was sentenced on February 24 to 3 years in prison following a December arrest for a burglary of a Torrance medical building.

Thompson thanked the judge for not sending her to county jail and knew that her plea bargain and quick guilty plea saved her from a lengthy sentence that could have seen her spending up to 12 years in prison.

According to employees at the medical building, Thompson snuck into the building as a male employee was working and stuck around until her left on December 19. She then proceeded to take items from drawers and money as well. Thompson was arrested on February 4 and was charged with burglary. Her criminal record began on 1955; her first offense was disturbing the peace. Over the next half century, Thompson was arrested for crimes such as; petty theft, burglary, connection to a homicide, forgery, receiving stolen property and grand theft. She served jail time for many of the offenses over the years.

Thompson was ordered to pay the medical building $1,427 as reimbursement for the crime. Thompson has had a very long criminal record that dates back more than a half century, but other defendants who are first time offenders can also face similar consequences regardless of it being their first or twentieth time committing a crime. Thompson was deemed insane and sent to a hospital in connection with the homicide, but she continued to commit because she believes that the government doesn’t support its citizens, financially, as well as they should. Regardless of reasons or excuses, Thompson's Los Angeles theft defense attorney had to try and get her the best deal possible as a repeat offender.
