Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

Any felony offense is a problem. WIth no prior record though, he should get probation with a fine and some community service. The real problem, which the public defender will never address (which most attorneys will not address) is why he committed the offense. Without the answer to why some other stupid sh#t (breaking into vehicle to take a teddy bear qualifies as stupid sh#t) will occur, and he will be back in jail with a violation of probation. So it is just as important to understand why he did it as it is to resolve it.
