My question involves criminal law for the state of: IL
Someone pawns a stolen item at a local pawn shop. Item is stolen from a burglarized residence that is 300 feet from where the person who pawned the item lives. The significant other of the person who pawned the item is the primary suspect in the burglary. He has not been charged with the burglary as of yet and not clear if the police will ever feel they have enough evidence to charge him. He does have a prior residential burglary conviction so it's not inconceivable he did it. He also approached the victim per reward notice posed and allegedly had a great detail about the items stolen and tried to claim that he had seen them at another residence near by. In other words, it appears that he tried to collect the reward by trying to finger someone else. He was allegedly intoxicated when he went to collect the award.
Their defense: She had lost her ID and didn't pawn anything. It was someone else who took advantage of them and they are victim of identity theft.
They do speak of an attorney so they may have one.
What is the chance that they walk with this one?
