I've got to get off of this thread! But!
Identity theft is a class 4 felony!
In Colorado, a Class 4 felony is a serious offense that can result in:
A prison sentence of 2 to 6 years
Fines ranging from $2,000 to $500,000
A mandatory parole period of 3 years
The maximum prison term can be extended to up to 12 years in certain circumstances, such as when the offense is aggravated or the defendant has a criminal history.
Examples of Class 4 felonies in Colorado include: Identity theft, Vehicular assault, Third-degree burglary, Selling a Schedule III or IV controlled substance, and Any DUI-related conviction.
Penalties and fines for felony classes are structured to reflect the seriousness of each crime. If you are charged with a Class 4 felony, you should consult a local criminal defense attorney for legal advice.
If someone has more than one identity theft, do those prison sentences go back to back, or simultaneously?
I would think they would be served separately!??
None of this will matter because the case will likely end up being Federal and this charged under US codified law and not Colorado law. I am sure the local cops were just helping to add bodies to the search and a squad car to transport her to detention. I am still sorting it out but I am guessing her evil deeds crossed state lines, probably more than once.
The Feds get convictions with ease and don't concern themselves as much with plea agreements like the overburdened Colorado courts do.
