Legal Question in Technology Law in Kansas

Title 18, United States Code, Section 1030(a)(5)(A)(i)

Myself and another co-worker recently accessed my former employers programs via a web based server. The co-worker involved gave me her sign on info to gain access. We both messed with the systems, and payroll and she was given a raise, along with numerous other people, myself included. The company recovered the money from the raises from everyone except for me, but they still called the FBI about the situation. I spoke with the FBI yesterday, and I denied everything so far. The only federal statute that I can find that they could charge me with is Title 18, United States Code, Section 1030(a)(5)(A)(i). I believe it is a felony due to the length of imprisonment along with the amount of the fines. If I rolled over on her, what is the likelihood that they would drop it to a misdemeanor? I already have quite an extensive felony record. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Writing to this forum indicates that you understand that it is time to stop trying to be your own lawyer. Find one in your jurisdiction who does criminal defense work.

Hopefully, no one will connect your posting with the actual case, as you have basically confessed to the offense and a court might not consider the attorney-client privilege to have attached.

Best wishes,
