Try to avoid 365<br />

is not possible,<br />
see Advice.<br />
Avoid conviction<br />
of A3 if $10k loss<br />
to victim .<br />
Avoid 365 days<br />
where possible,<br />
but not AF “theft”<br />
as long as record<br />
does not show<br />
intent to deprive<br />
temporarily or<br />
permanently.<br />
Probably if<br />
sentence of 365<br />
though imm.<br />
counsel have<br />
arguments to<br />
contrary.<br />
Yes if 365 days.<br />
Possibly if more<br />
than $10,000<br />
loss to victim<br />

ADVICE<br />
Dangerous plea.<br />
Yes. Yes, if explosive used. Dangerous plea.<br />
Probably,<br />
unless mens<br />
rea of<br />
recklessness<br />
or negligence.<br />
Divisible. A3,<br />
A5 <strong>and</strong> A6<br />
may be CMT.<br />
No CMT if<br />
record leaves<br />
possibility of<br />
plea to A1, A2,<br />
A4 without<br />
intent to<br />
permanently<br />
deprive.<br />
No.<br />
No<br />
Good alternative to arson if<br />
can plead to reckless or<br />
negligence; otherwise, may<br />
be better off with § 13-<br />
1703.<br />
To avoid theft AF even if<br />
sentence is 1 yr or more:<br />
Plead to A2, A3 or A6 with<br />
record vague as to theft of<br />
services, or to A2 or A4<br />
where record does not<br />
establish intent to deprive<br />
the owner temporarily or<br />
permanently.<br />
To avoid fraud AF even<br />
with $10k loss, plead to<br />
subsection other than A3.<br />
No No Safer plea. See United<br />
States v. Perez-Corona,<br />
295 F.3d 996 (9th Cir.<br />
2002) (13-1803 not AF<br />
even with 1 yr sentence b/c<br />
no intent to deprive).<br />
Probably,<br />
although A5,<br />
A6, <strong>and</strong> A7<br />
leave imm.<br />
counsel<br />
arguments.<br />
Yes if record<br />
shows intent to<br />
deprive<br />
permanently<br />
May be<br />
divisible: it is<br />
not known<br />
whether fraud<br />
is essential<br />
element. If<br />
record<br />
establishes<br />
fraud, CMT.<br />
No.<br />
No<br />
No<br />
May be good alternate plea<br />
with vague record. To<br />
avoid ag fel, plead to<br />
obtaining “services” or<br />
leave record vague as to<br />
property or services.<br />
See Theft, § 13-1802. See<br />
endnote re proof of intent<br />
by concealment.<br />
If $10k loss, theft is a safer<br />
plea. If court finds this<br />
offense involves “deceit” it<br />
will be an agg felony with<br />
$10k loss to victim.<br />
