Monica is a thief, and she robs liquor stores and convenience stores at gunpoint, late at night, when very few, if any, customers are around. Maury would best be classified as a _____, and Monica would best be classified as a ______.

Answer 1

Answer: embezzlement and petty theft or shoplifting

Explanation:Maury would best be classified as an embezzler as he is a person who willfully took or converted to his´ own use, Acme Corporation´s 's money. Maury initially acquired the job lawfully, and he has gotten a position of trust.

Monica would best be classified as a petty theft as she committed the act of taking and carrying away the personal property of liquor stores and convenience stores with the intent to deprive the owner of it permanently but only if the value is below $100.00

Or it is robbery if she takes money, personal property, or any other article of value in the liquor stores and convenience stores by means of force or fear.

It can also be considered shoplifting as she willful takes and conceals merchandise from businesses as liquor stores and convenience stores at gunpoint, with the intention of using the goods for one’s personal use without paying the purchase price.
