Legal Question in Criminal Law in Nevada
Petty
Recently I was in a depatment store with my little sister, we were in the jewelery section for a few minutes, then decided to go look at shoes. At this time my sister was stealing a $25 ring, I had no idea she was doing this untill just as we were getting ready to walk out of the store she hands me the ring, I look at it and STUPIDLY continue to walk out of the store with it and we got stopped and taken to the stores back room, and I immediatly gave them the ring and they insisted on calling the police. I now have a citation to go to court in Feb and I was wondering if I plead guily am I going to serve jail time?

Re: Petty
Never plead guilty. If you plead not guilty the prosecutor will offer you something like diversion, counseling or community service. If you can afford to get an attorney I would recommend you do so. He may be able to negotiate an eventual dismissal.
