Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey

Malicious Destruction of Property

I understand that ''keying'' someones

car is a crime. What I do not

understand is that IF found guilty,

what does the penalties include? If the

person who is on trial for doing the

keying, and they plead ''not guilty'',

what will happen with the case?

expecially if there are no witnesses.

Re: Malicious Destruction of Property

Destroying another's property is known as malicious mischief in the criminal law. If you are found guilty you can go to jail; pay a fine and/or

be placed on probation.

A criminal charge must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. You should see an attorney to see how you stand.

Call me if you like.
