Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey
I have been arrested of second degree theft -- $191,000 - which has since been reduced by $48,000 due to the assistant prosecutor conducting interviews with auditors, accountants, etc. We have not provided any discovery. Assistant prosecutor has offered me the chance to testify in front of the grand jury. Should I do this?
4 Answers from Attorneys
At this point you should have an attorney. A theft of $75,000.00 or more is a second degree crime punishable by up to ten years in prison and has a presumption that any sentence will include a term in prison.
Usually appearing before a grand jury is not productive. The prosecutor will question you in the
presence of up to 23 grand jurors and your lawyer will not be allowed to be in the room. It can be
worthwhile under some limited circumstances, I would advise you to have an extensive discussion with an attorney before you make this decision.

As Mr. Davies said, get a good criminal attorney as either you don't have one or you don't listen to him or her. Feel free to call me or any of the other attorneys here to discuss this. It sounds like this is a white collar crime. Check out whitecollarcrimenews.com
I would advise against it. Please contact me to discuss your case in more detail. I never charge for simply talking to a person about their case. Thank you.
