Meet 48 y/o Juanette Cullum, pictured below, who is (er, who was) an airplane cleaner at JFK International Airport until her arrest last Friday (April 24th, 2015) for allegedly stealing almost $15,000.00 worth of items from Terminal 8 (American Airlines), including more than 1,400 unopened miniature bottles of liquor, nineteen (19) Kindle tablets, seven (7) iPads, two (2) laptops and a “large amount” of toiletries over a three (3) year period.
Per Port Authority Police a witness allegedly saw Juanette stealing property and informed American Airline officials who called cops. A warrant was served on her home where all of the items were recovered. A confession ensued and Juanette was charged with grand larceny and criminal possession of stolen property.
Memo to Juanette (& the Folks): It’s truly tough to defend a case when a client is caught red handed and is fingered by independent witnesses / evidence. It is even more difficult where a warrant is lawfully obtained and served and contraband is then found in the same subject’s home. But the coup-de-gras comes when the individual subsequently confesses. Please, pretty please, be a good (if not a smart client), and at least INVOKE. If ever there comes a time for a Mia Culpa believe me your criminal defense lawyer will both advise you and structure the statement to achieve maximum benefit. In the meantime, if you get popped, then…
