Whether or not additional examples of graffiti are actually the work of the same artist is a fact to be determined by a jury. What do you expect the prosecutor to do? Believe the defendant's word of honor, only after being caught red-handed?
Choosing to commit a crime that closely mimics the details of previous criminal activity by others (or yourself) is not the brightest idea. That is a kind stupidity that I am not sure we need special consideration for.
- rdouble 13y agoIt's determined by a cop who has a binder of graffiti photos. Graffiti cases never see a jury. The defendant gets slammed with a potential $500K fine and decade in jail and then they plea bargain it down to a lesser fine, probation and community service, maybe short jail time if it's not the first offense.
