They say it’s good to have friends in high places. That’s especially true when that friend is your father, and he used to be the mayor of New York City.
Caroline Giuliani, 21, was arrested on charges of shoplifting on August 4. Giuliani allegedly attempted to steal $100 worth of makeup and cosmetics from Sephora in Manhattan’s Upper East Side. However a judge agreed to dismiss the charge against Giuliani if she does one day of community service. The Manhattan judge in Giuliani’s case agreed that that the case will be expunged, dismissed and sealed after she has completed her community service. The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office will determine what kind of community service Giuliani’s daughter provides, Reuters reports.
Before anyone cries that the case of Giuliani’s daughter is an example of favoritism or legal elitism, a spokeswoman for the District Attorney’s Office said that dismissal after the completion of community service is typical in cases involving first-time offenders accused of minor theft. In order for the dismissal to be effective, Caroline Giuliani must stay clear of legal trouble for six months and return for a status update on November 4. At the status update the judge will determine whether she has complied.
