Can a defendant be convicted of receiving a stolen vehicle?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Inabnit, C078749 (Cal. App. 2018):
Moreover, defendant did not claim he stole the vehicle, nor was he charged with or convicted of stealing it. As the People aptly argue, a person cannot be convicted of stealing and receiving the same property. (People v. Garzo, supra, 35 Cal.4th at p. 875.) Because defendant was convicted of receiving a stolen vehicle, he could not be convicted of stealing that same vehicle.
