me and my husband stole some tools from my brother in law's house because we were broke and he wouldnt help us. it is the first time i have ever stolen anything...i would say the value is around 200 dollars. the police officer lied to me and told me he found my fingerprints at the scene and i confessed. my brother in laws shed door was wide open and so was his house, but nobody was home.

Some states differentiate between grand larceny and petty larceny based on the value of the stolen goods. Grand larceny is a felony with a state prison sentence as a punishment and petty larceny is usually limited to county jail time.

Jail Time For Larceny
2016-12-12 05:03:44 · answer #3 · answered by Anonymous · 0⤊ 0⤋
For a first offense larceny with $200 or under in property it would likely be a Misdemeanor. While Misdemeanors may be punishable by up to a year in a County/City Jail, it is unlikely that you would get jail time for your first offense if you have no criminal record.
Your attorney or public defender can offer you more detailed legal advice. It is possible that you could plea guilty to a lessor charge and thus be punished with a suspended sentence, probation, and/or a fine.
Just make sure that you have adequate legal counsel and that follow their advice.

In the United States, "offenses", or violations of the law are separated into three (3) categories: Felonies, Misdemeanors, and Infractions. Punishment for any of them may include fines, fees, court costs, probation, etc., but worst-case scenarios for punishments are: Felonies are punishable by incarceration in State or Federal Prison, and in certain instances, in certain states, Death. Convicted Felons, if paroled or released after completing their sentence, have fewer rights, fewer job opportunities, etc. because of their status as a convicted felon. Misdemeanors are punishable by incarceration in County Jail. Infractions are punishable by fines. Felony and Misdemeanor convictions go on ones "criminal record". Infractions do not. Examples of Felonies: Homicide (ie: violation of 187PC - section 187 of the Ca. Penal Code) Arson (ie: violation of 451PC - section 451 of the Ca. Penal Code) Robbery Burglary Rape Assaulting a Peace Officer Conspiracy Grand Larceny Examples of Misdemeanors: (generally) Driving Under the Influence Reckless Driving Disturbing the peace Disorderly Conduct Vandalism Driving without a license Brandishing a firearm "simple" Assault (ie: violation of 415PC - section 415 of the Ca. Penal Code) Examples of Infractions:(traffic violations)...violation of the Vehicle Code Excessive Speed ("speeding") Failure to Stop ("running a red light, or stop sign) Failure to Signal Expired Registration (so called) "fix-it tickets" are not infractions, they are a notice to repair a deficiency, and then show proof that the vehicle has been fixed In answer to your question, since a speeding ticket is an infraction (assuming you are not referring to such an excessive speed that it rises to the class of Reckless Endangerment/Reckless Driving) and infractions do not appear on ones criminal history record, it would be categorized as a "Traffic Offense", or more specifically, "a violation of the vehicle code". (and we won't get into other categories such as Civil, Probate, Family and other areas of Law and Justice) Hope that helped.

How egregious was the offence (dollar amount) and how good is your lawyer? Those will be the deciding factors between probation and jail time.

Hmmm, have you started to pay him back for
the tools?
Do you have children?
Did your husband help?
This will play into it.
So wrong to steal.
