petit larceny?

Question

I'm 20 years of age and I was arrested the other week on a first offence petit larceny of 13 dollars , i know what i did was very ignorant and foolish and made me think about alot of things , as in m future for both my loved one and I , i just am afriad that i might get sent to jail , i dont want to be sent to prison and loose her and let her down and myself and my family, i know what i've done is very wrong and the thought in my mind of the chance that i could be going to prison and loosing everything that most people take for granted scares me so much, i just cant stop thinking about how i was so ready to finaly go to school down in atl ga and finaly get on with my life and make better steps for my future , so i can actually have a future with my loved one but now i go and do somthing stupid and screw it all up on myself , i really just want to know what is the most likley thing to happen and what is the worst thing to happen?

Answer 1

You are looking at a misdemeanor offense. Since it is a first offense, chances are you will be able to work out a deal for a probated sentence rather than jail time. Just stay out of trouble in the future, and you'll be fine.

Answer 2

You'll most likely get a "slap on the wrist" meaning community service or a fine. Petit larcency is punishable with a fine up to 1000.00....highly unlikely for first offense.

Bad thing is , your not a juvenile, so this is on your record.

the 13 dollars is gonna haunt you!

Answer 3

Criminally, no. In civil words, you've were given more desirable complications than purely giving the chum a greenback decrease back. Courts are very accepting of ex post damage analyses as hostile to ex ante analyses, so... If the chum wanting to take the civil direction to remedy his/her damage, that $a million million plus pre & post judgment interest, costs and fees of courtroom will be leaving your account and going promptly decrease back on your chum's account.
