It is often said that a ‘criminal’ didn’t understand that what they were doing was wrong and therefore do not feel as though they should be charged

with a crime. Ventura Country Defense Attorney Robert Michael Helfend can help by explaining your rights, what you are being charged with and why.

Jeremy Louis Gallegos, a 20 year old man, pleaded no contest to robbery and child abuse charges after robbing a liquor store and using a toddler as a human shield.

The child was thankfully not hurt during the situation. She was 3 years old and reportedly had been left with Gallegos to be babysat. The October 2009 incident was solved three weeks after the crime when Gallegos was taken into custody and formally charged. He has now been sentenced to 8 years in prison.
