Re: Larceny in the 4th Degree
This sounds like Larceny over $250 charge. Depending on the circumstances, and his ability to repay, he could face at a minimum a dismissal upon payment of the amount plus court costs, a plea wherein there is a probationary period, after which the charge is dismissed.
If you want to contact me, please do so.
Re: Larceny in the 4th Degree
He should hire an attorney as soon as possible who can get involved in case and try to prevent the charges from even being issued. If the charges are issued--there are many different possibilities for someone with no record but it really depends upon the facts of the case, the "victim"s" feelings about the case, the Court where he is charged and what District Attorney's office it is. Please feel free to contact me further . Martha Kovner
