Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

You said you were charged in 2007, but were you convicted?

If you were convicted and served ANY jail time (even if it was "time served," or you were ordered to be booked at the jail, which counts as a day in custody), any other theft you commit could be charged as a felony.

Based on these brief facts, nobody could predict what might happen. You need a lawyer who can evaluate all of the evidence against you. If you can't afford to hire a lawyer, you are entitled to one at government expense and the judge will appoint the Public Defender.

I 'think' you face criminal charges for petty theft or even burglary, with a prior if you were convicted or pled back in 2007. That would mean enhanced penalties. What will happen is up to the DA and judge. Your attorney's job is to negotiate an acceptable plea bargain, or take the case to trial, your choice.
