A criminal record. A 'prior' counting against him if he ever gets arrested again. Now, if he's serious about getting counsel to defend him, and if this is in SoCal, feel free to contact me for the legal help he needs.

Re: Petty theft

The answer depends upon a number of factors that you did not include, such as his age, the amount taken, any prior problems. Consult with an attorney so that all of the facts can be reviewed.

Re: Petty theft

It is impossible to give you a comprehensive answer without knowing more facts. There are many factors involved including the courthouse where the case is being prosecuted and the temperament of the judge. I recommend you consult with a lawyer or two.
