El código criminal de Utah hace una distinción entre muchos tipos de ofensas de hurto. A fin de comprender lo que hace al hurto mediante extorsión diferente a cargos relacionados como el hurto en tiendas, hurto mediante decepción, o hurto de servicios, necesita conocer como el hurto y la extorsión son definidas.
Razones Por las Que Puede Enfrentar Cargos de Hurto Mediante Extorsión en Salt Lake City
El hurto tiene una definición bastante directa bajo el Código de Utah § 76-6-404, el cual establece, “Una persona comete hurto si él [ o ella] obtiene o ejerce control no autorizado sobre la propiedad de otro.” Críticamente, el acusado debe haber actuado con la intención de privar al dueño legítimo de la propiedad hurtada. El fiscal debe probar que esta fue la intención del demandado.
Muchos incidentes de hurto alegados en Utah no tienen nada que ver con extorsión. Una persona comete hurto mediante extorsión bajo el Código de Utah § 76-6-406 solo cuando él o ella amenaza con:
- Acusar a otra persona de cometer un crimen a fin de exponer a la persona al “odio, desprecio, o ridículo.”
- Cometer cualquier otro crimen, tal como agredir a la persona.
- Injuriar, confinar, o retener al dueño de la propiedad o cualquier persona.
- Revelar cualquier información que la víctima querría mantener privada.
- Comenzar o continuar un boicot, huelga, o acción grupal relacionada que no ha sido solicitada y no es beneficiosa para, el grupo que el demandado alega representar.
- Tomar acciones, o no tomar acciones, en una capacidad oficial.
- Testificar, o retener un testimonio, en el asunto legal de la otra persona.
- Hacer cualquier otra cosa que no beneficiaría significativamente al acusado, pero lastimaría significativamente a cualquier otra persona en términos de su seguridad, salud, estado financiero, negocio, relaciones personales, o reputación.
El hurto mediante extorsión es un cargo separado de la extorsión o soborno para desestimar un procedimiento criminal bajo el Código de Utah § 76-8-509, el cual es un delito grave de segundo grado. Los delitos graves, delitos menores, y sus penalidades criminales en Utah se explican a continuación.
Penalidades por Delitos Menores y Graves en Utah: Multas Criminales y Sentencias
Utah divide los crímenes en dos categorías amplias: delitos menos graves, que son ofensas menores como conducta desordenada, y delitos graves, que son ofensas más serias como el homicidio y la violación.
Existen tres tipos distintos de delitos menos graves: Clase C, Clase B, y Clase A. Los delitos menores Clase A son el tipo de crimen menor más serio.
Existen también tres tipos distintos de delitos graves: tercer grado, segundo grado, y primer grado. Los delitos grave de primer grado son los crímenes más serios en Utah.
El hurto mediante extorsión puede clasificarse como un delito menor o grave, de variadas clases y grados, dependiendo de factores tales como:
- El valor monetario de la propiedad hurtada. Mientras más alto el valor de la propiedad, más serio el crimen, y más duras las penalidades. Así es como Utah asigna los cargos por propiedad hurtada, con algunas excepciones:
- Menos de $500 – Delito Menor Clase B
- $500 a $1,499 – Delito Menor Clase A
- $1,5000 a $4,999 – Delito Grave de Tercer Grado
- $5,000 o más – Delito Grave de Segundo Grado
- El tipo de propiedad hurtada. Por ejemplo, hurtar un arma o auto es un delito grave de segundo grado automático, sin importar el valor actual de la propiedad hurtada.
- Si el demandado cuenta con un expediente de hurto. Contar con un historial de hurto puede hacer más duras las penalidades de una convicción. Para brindar un ejemplo, hurtar menos de $500 es usualmente un delito menor Clase B, pero se vuelve en uno Clase A si el demandado hurtó de la misma propiedad durante los últimos cinco años y recibió una notificación escrita prohibiéndole entrar nuevamente a dicha propiedad. Dependiendo de la clase de delito menor o grave cometido por el demandado, él o ella podría enfrentar las siguientes consecuencias criminales:
- Delito Menos Grave Clase B
- Sentencia – Hasta 6 meses en cárcel
- Multa – Hasta $1,000
- Delito Menos Grave Clase A
- Sentencia –Hasta 1 año en cárcel
- Multa – Hasta $2,500
- Delito Grave de Tercer Grado
- Sentencia – Hasta 5 años en prisión
- Multa – Hasta $2,500
- Delito Grave de Segundo Grado
- Sentencia – hasta 15 años en prisión
- Multa – Hasta $10,000
- Delito Menos Grave Clase B
Además , el demandado podría ser responsabilizado civilmente por tres veces las pérdidas sostenidas por la víctima: por ejemplo, $15,000 por $5,000 en daños. Esto es conocido como “Daños triples.”

"Having Tawni representing just made everything feel and be more smooth."
We are beyond grateful to have been able to work with attorney Tawni Bugden. Since the first time we spoke over the phone she gave me hope, sense of relief and free judgment!! She always was available to my questions and concerns even at times she had to explain to me more than once. Having a family member in jail and going through the whole process of courts and wanting to do more for them it’s the worst feeling ever, but having Tawni representing just made everything feel and be more smooth and had such a amazing outcome. She was able to get no prison time and even be released before sentencing court. Honestly if I was ever to go through this situation again ( hope I never do) no doubt Tawni will be our attorney!!! They are the Best!!! They know what they are doing and most importantly they don’t give any false hopes and the results they can get.

“If someone is making allegations against you, you really should talk to Darwin.”
I was charged with domestic violence and the allegations were that I abused my husband. Truth is, my husband was abusive to me. I hired Darwin and we had a trial. During the trial, Darwin was able to show the jury that it was my husband that was abusive and was trying to manipulate the process of our divorce. The jury found me not guilty and after the trial one of the jurors approached me and told me how impressed the jury was with the way Darwin presented the defense. Before the trial, my now soon to be ex-husband tried to convince me to plead guilty. So going to trial was really the first time I was able to stand up to him and not let him manipulate my life anymore. Darwin really helped me with that process and I can’t express how empowering it has been. If someone is making allegations against you, you really should talk to Darwin.

“If you or a loved one is in trouble, Darwin is your guy.”
“I was arrested for DUI. From the very beginning Darwin was very professional and supportive. Throughout the court process I was scared. I kept telling Darwin that wanted to plead guilty just to end it but Darwin encouraged me to stick with it and take the case to trial. The morning of trial, Darwin was able to cross examine the (arresting) officer in such a way as to show the jury that there was reasonable doubt as to the accuracy of the breathalyzer machine. That was important because they were saying my BAC was .182. Darwin walked me through my testimony so that the jury understood what happened from my point of view. I think if he hadn’t been able to help me through my testimony the way he did that the jury wouldn’t have understood and they would have convicted me. The jury deliberated for two hours and then returned a verdict of not guilty.I am really thankful that Darwin was my attorney and that I took his advice to take my case to a jury. If you or a loved one is in trouble, Darwin is your guy.”

“The jury found my husband not guilty and I credit Darwin for making that happen.”
“My husband was charged with a first degree felony sex crime against our granddaughter. Anyone who knew my husband knew he didn’t do it. He was the type to protect children not hurt them. We had been represented by another attorney who just couldn’t get the prosecutor to see that the charges weren’t good. When it came time for trial, that attorney was scared to try the case. We were referred to Darwin and I am so grateful. Trial was a week long and by the end, Darwin had shown the jury how our grandchild had been manipulated by the social workers and her mother to say things that were not true. Darwin was careful and thorough in his investigation and preparation before trial and it really showed in court. The jury found my husband not guilty and I credit Darwin for making that happen.”

“I thank Darwin …had it not been for him, things would have turned out very differently for me and not in a good way.”
“Several years ago, I was having troubles in my marriage. There were lots of arguments and it was clear that we were headed for a separation. One night I was woke up by six West Valley Police officers standing around my bed with flashlights shining in my eyes. It was 3:00 in the morning and they drug me to the police station where they informed me that I was being arrested for engaging in sexual relations with my baby girl. I could not believe it. Over the next several days I lost my job because of these allegations and a protective order issued against me preventing me from seeing my wife and child, and even from going to the house to get my things. My world was turned upside down. I hired Darwin to represent me. He helped me get my job back, over turned the protective order and through his own investigation was able to uncover enough about my wife to convince the prosecutor to drop all charges against me. About six months later my wife was arrested for possessing thousands of dollars of fake checks. I have moved on and remarried. I thank Darwin for helping me through an incredibly difficult part of my life and I think had it not been for him, things would have turned out very differently for me and not in a good way.”
