Fairfield, CA: Defense Attorney - Use Sale Prices Not Retail
Chrissy Phillips, 37, faces felony grand theft and commercial burglary charges for a Dec. 15, 2015, incident at the Kohl's in Vacaville when she and Simmie Shelton - the man police call the Kohl's Bandit - allegedly stole $1,098 worth of Nike shoes, Nike sweatsuits, hair straightener and Rachael Ray cooking pans. Defense attorney Thomas Healy argued during the preliminary hearing that calculating sale prices for the items meant they didn't reach the $950 threshold for a felony charge. "There are sales going on all the time," he said of Kohl's. He doesn't know anybody who pays regular prices, added Healy, who said a 15 percent discount would involve misdemeanor charges for Phillips. Solano County Superior Court Judge E. Bradley Nelson decided otherwise. "You get the sale price if you pay," Nelson said. dailyrepublic.com
