Re: grandlarceney versus/other

Targeted at the Target store, perhaps?

Grand larceny may be charged in Virginia when a person allegedly steals goods/services valued at $200 or more. The penalty imposed for one convicted of such a charge may range from 1 to 20 years in a state penal facility, or up to 12 months in the local jail and a fine of up to $2500, either or both.

Given your quite confused description as to what may have happened here which resulted in this serious charge against you, it is very important that you quickly obtain an attorney to represnt you in this matter.

And, if you cannot afford to hire such an attorney on your own, then you must ask the court to appoint one to represent you.
