The defendant was accused of unlawfully taking certain furniture and electronic equipment from the victim’s home. After a thorough investigation of the case and the taking of depositions, it was proven that not only was the furniture lawfully purchased through the victim’s friend, but the victim (who had filed for bankruptsy) actually pawned the electronics equipment in an effort to extort money from the defendant. A motion to dismiss was filed alleging that it was impossible that the defendant took the aforementioned property. The State of Florida dismissed all charges on 1/26/06.
