Q: 21 O.S. 1708 a violent crime??
A:
§21-1708. Grand larceny in night time from person a felony.
When it appears upon such trial, that such larceny was committed by stealing in the night time, from the person of another, the offender shall be guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment in the State Penitentiary not exceeding ten (10) years.
It is an aggravated felony. If you were convicted of an aggravated felony at any time, there will be very little that you can do to avoid deportation, unless you can prove it is more likely than not that you would be tortured in your native country upon return. A waiver to return to the U.S. will not be available. If you are not a US citizen and have been charged with 21 O.S. 1708, you should obtain competent counsel who can help you avoid an aggravated felony conviction that will permanently render you inadmissible to the United States.
