The outcome depends on a lot of variables, including whether your case proceeds in criminal court or juvenile court. If your charges remain in criminal court, then you might go to prison, if you were found guilty. The charge papers should indicate what the maximums are. Juvenile court might commit you to the custody of DJ S until you are 18 or 21. An experienced criminal defense attorney can help you evaluate the prosecution's case, any defenses that you might have, and any plea offer that might be made, so that you can decide whether to go to trial. You and your parent should consider seeking a confidential consultation.

Maximum you'd be in juvey until you're 21, depending on your record. That's assuming they can prove this case. Don't talk to the cops!
