Re: Grand Theft

It depends on what level of Grand Theft you are charged with. Most grand theft charges are 3rd degree felonies, punishable by up to 5 years of prison or probation. If you had two 3rd degree Grand Theft charges, you could be looking at up to 10 years in prison if the sentences were run "consecutive." However, if the value of the property/money taken is large, your grand theft charges could be second or first degree felonies, so you could be looking at 15 years on each or 30 years on each. I would need to know the specifics to answer the question in any more detail. Good luck.
