Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

Petit Larceny

My 16 year old daughter was just

charged with petit larceny for

allegedly stealing a cell phone. The

sheriff stated that I have to take her

for fingerprints & photos. What do I

do? She swears she didn't take

phone and is willing to take a lie

detector test to prove it! They gave

her an appearance ticket for 7/21/08

If you decide to fight these charges, you should begin gathering your evidence, such as witnesses who will testify regarding the complaining person's credibility, and all other evidence that will help you.
