Cigarillos cost about $6.00 per box. Two boxes are worth about $12.00. And a young man is dead over this?!?!? And the county prosecutor can't find probable cause for police use of overwhelming force? Excuse me?
The prosecutor NEVER said they even found the items on the body of dead young man. This is ridiculous and if the USA calls this good police work there is a lot more wrong with the USA than I ever estimated.
Petty Larceny used in many states for theft of a small amount of money or objects of little value (such as less than $500). It is distinguished fromgrand larceny which is theft of property of greater worth, which is a felonypunishable by a term in state prison. Petty larceny is a misdemeanor punishable atmaximum with a term in the county jail. States which only use the term "larceny,"often treat theft of a smaller amounts as a misdemeanor in sentencing.
