Do you think I will be going to jail?

I guess me and my friend got charged for retail fraud. We are 19 years old. and my friend deicided to steal stuff and asked to put it in my purse and i was being stupid and said ok. so we got caught with 300 dollars worth of stuff. and i was the one that got arrested because i had everything in my purse. when the cops were going through everything they found loose pills in my purse from something. so i dont know whats going to happen in court. What do you think will happen??

If this is your first offence, probably not. You will probably get probation unless you get a judge who wants to make an example of you.

Your so called friend set you up by the way. I'd get rid of that person.

This person is NOT your friend.

You probably wont go to jail because its your first offence.

worst case ull probably just have to do community service - best case ull just get off with a warning.

in any event I suggest u rat out ur friend cus it'll be exactly what they are going to do to you. and stop hanging around with them.

ur life will get a fair bit worse though if those pills were on u illegally...but still i doubt ur looking at jail time.

I really think you should bring up your friend so in the end you will not be screwed alone, and that it was all your friends idea. They might say you do drugs from the pills they found, and I am sure you are in enough trouble if you are going to court for it.

Offer to testify against your friend, and plead guilty. Do you have a lawyer? Get one. Probably suspended sentence and probation.

But that depends on what the pills were too, and how many. Either way, offer to flip on some random dealer and you should be fine.

Depends on the DA, if he's lenient your get probation with a chance to have the charge expunged from your records after a year.

Well i happen to be logging in from a half way house.. and the same thing happened to me a year ago. So i would say yes, your in quite a pickle, and facing definite time. So face what you did, and just admit your crime. Accept your responsibility and you might get some mercy.

You could have to pay a fine, community service, and possibly spend a little time in the slammer idk depends on your judge.


mylilsims
As stated first offense likely nothing but umm in all honesty when you go up in there you better keep it real
Cause that story you told here about the pills and all that sounds like a cop out and Judges like folks who are honest

Just saying You need to learn to accept your mistakes and have the nerve to own your mistakes


zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
you will be judged separately. Most likely you will be put on probation if it is your first offense

You will get a court date and
either
a) have to do a very short jail stay
b) be assigned to some classes, or program,
c) be ordered to pay a fine with community service
d) not be charged
e) one of the above with it on your permanent record.


B
if it was only 300 bucks you shouldn't go to jail. It it was 1000 and over you would get a felony and be soending some time in jail.

Well, I'm not a lawyer nor do I have knowledge regarding this area. I'm not too sure what country you are from either so that make it more difficult, but i will try my best.

You said that you were in possession of items that were stolen, that is a no. Dont steal. For something like this I would assume that you will get a fine or community service. But you have also mentioned pills. I am unclear whether these are things like panadol or if they are illicit drugs. If they are drugs I think that you will get a large fine and/ or a prison sentence.

Remember on your day in court. Be polite, cooperate and be honest.

Our courts are too lenient on criminals.

You probably won't go to jail. They may test the pills to find out if they are anything illegal. If they are illegal or for drug use purposes (as in you don't have a doctor to verify that they prescribed them for you) then you may have a court order for treatment. Otherwise you'll likely just get probation and go on your merry way. Although you need to ditch this "friend". They sound like they are more of a pain in the butt than they are worth.

dunno what'll happen but your friend is stupid


The Realest Answer
Your definatly going to jail...

getting charged as theft probably.

5months-2 years. Depending on the judge.

Sence its less than 1000.00 you wont be spending more than 2 years.


I suggest you getting a lawyer because you ARE in some trouble.
