Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
Minor accused of P.C.594 (b)(1)
I am a minor being accused of P.C.594 (b)(1). I am being wrongly accused, the people who broke the window were some other people I know, and I got stuck at the scene of the crime. So the other people told the police that we hit there car with baseball bats. The police reports are totally not in our favor. Will I have to go to jail for this? What do I do?

Get an attorney if you want to minimize the problems. It may be possible to prove your facts and get the DA to not prosecute, or at least reduce the penalties. Contact me if interested.

Thank you for your posting.
Always keep in mind that the prosecution has the burden of proof, meaning that they must prove it was you that committed this crime, beyond a reasonable doubt. The crime doesn't usually have a jail sentence, unless you have priors or other unusual circumstances exist. You should speak with an attorney in more detail, or request a public defender at your first court appearance.
