Re: Possession of Stolen Property No Longer Possessed
Quoting flyingron
I have no idea why you think that that would be necessary.
The question is whether they can show you knew or should have known that the item was stolen at the time you possessed it and deprived it from the rightful owner.
How would the DA know if it was stolen and if it was the right item that the OP had? Assuming that there isn't a paper trail.
