What Must Prosecution Prove To Charge and Convict You Of Carjacking?

Posted On: June 14, 2010 by Southern California Criminal Defense Attorney

The crime of carjacking comes under the broad scope of California theft-related offenses. To be guilty of carjacking in California, the defendant must have taken a motor vehicle from the custody of another person by force, violence, or assault.

For the prosecution to meet its burden for a carjacking conviction, it must be proven, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the taking was with the intent to temporarily or permanently deprive the true owner of their right to use or possess the motor vehicle. As you can see, several complex elements must be met and proven to support allegation of carjacking.
