Re: Grand Larceny class D Felony

A class D felony does not have a mandatory jail sentence attached, but that does not mean the prosecutor can't ask for it. If there is no prior criminal history perhaps a lawyer could negotiate probation instead of jail. You are welcome to call for a free consultation.
