Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland

The out come of a theft charge can be jail. On a first offense, that is not likely. More important is that a conviction will stay on your record for the rest of your life. A theft conviction is a crime of moral turpitude, which means you can never get a job that requires a security clearance, and probably not get a job that involves honesty. For those reasons you should not go to court without a lawyer.

There are way too many factors involved to say what would happen with such a case, but the government must prove that you knew the item was stolen. And as for the burglary, it will likely by more difficult to prove in a situation like this unless you pawned the item immediately after the burglary, there was a witness to you breaking into the place, or they have your fingerprints or DNA. You need to RUN, don't walk, to an attorney.
