Mississippi Code Annotated provides a detailed legal framework for addressing and prosecuting grand larceny offenses in the state. Grand larceny refers to the unlawful taking and carrying away of someone else's property, with the specific intent to permanently deprive the owner of its possession. In Mississippi, the code distinguishes between various degrees and types of grand larceny, depending on the value and nature of the stolen property. One of the specific types of Mississippi Code Annotated relevant to grand larceny is "Grand Larceny from the Person" (Section 97-17-41). This section addresses instances where the theft involves property taken directly from another individual by means of force, intimidation, or using offensive weapons. This offense is considered a felony, punishable by significant fines and potentially substantial imprisonment sentences. Another important type is "Grand Larceny of Motor Vehicle" (Section 97-17-42). This law specifically covers the theft of motor vehicles, such as cars, trucks, motorcycles, and other vehicles. Stealing a motor vehicle is classified as a felony offense, carrying severe penalties, including imprisonment. The Mississippi Code Annotated also addresses other degrees of grand larceny based on the value of the stolen property. For instance, "Grand Larceny — Value Exceeds $1,000" (Section 97-17-41) pertains to theft where the value of the stolen property exceeds $1,000. This offense is generally treated as a felony, with penalties increasing proportionally with the value of the stolen property. Additionally, "Grand Larceny — Value Exceeds $500 but does not exceed $1,000" (Section 97-17-41) is a separate offense, indicating theft involving property valued between $500 and $1,000. This offense is also considered a felony, albeit with slightly lighter penalties compared to instances where the value exceeds $1,000. It is crucial to note that the Mississippi Code Annotated for grand larceny contains specific language outlining the elements of each offense, defining applicable terms, and providing provisions for penalties and punishment. These statutes are continuously reviewed and updated to ensure an accurate reflection of the state's legal framework. In summary, the Mississippi Code Annotated encompasses a range of laws relating to grand larceny offenses. These include "Grand Larceny from the Person," "Grand Larceny of Motor Vehicle," and varying degrees of grand larceny based on the value of the stolen property. Understanding these provisions is essential for law enforcement officials, legal professionals, and individuals seeking insights into grand larceny laws in Mississippi.
