If you were to look up the crime of 'auto theft' in your state penal code, it will also give a somewhat broad idea of what the maximum punishment can be. But that's just what it 'could' be under the worst case scenarios.
No one in this forum will be able to accurately foretell a good answer to your question, because there are too many variables for a given case. A defendant may get as little as probation or as much as years.
Some of the variables could be: Whether the person is charged with just one act of auto theft and no other charges, or there are more. Or the defendant has a criminal past that will be taken into consideration at sentencing. Or that the person was on probation at the time of the new charge. Or to steel the car, the defendant also pushed the owner out of the way or took the car by force. Or after taking the car, the defendant crashed it and caused damage or injury. Or the defendant ran when the police tried to arrest him. There's just so much that can come into play when a judge has to decide what a punishment should be.....towards the low end (probation) or towards the high end.

Well in the State of Arkansas, That is a class Felony, 3 to 10 years is the what the law calls for , but you can get less time or even probation for a first time offense, but if you have a long history of breaking the law or other charges you could get more time. It is up to the Judge how much time you get, you could plea out and make a deal which the state and you could get a lesser charge and that means less time in Jail.

the respond relies upon on the circumstances. Your previous criminal checklist is the main severe ingredient. in case you have merely the single previous DUI, you and your legal expert have something to good purchase with. in case you have different offenses on your checklist besides, you're staring at an prolonged sentence. automobile theft is a sources crime, not a private harm crime. Courts in many circumstances impose harsher sentences for crimes of violence. became the automobile broken? are you able to pay restitution? The courtroom will evaluate those factors. How previous are you presently? Courts are likely to be greater lenient with youthful offenders. If the automobile theft is your first legal, that's probable the courtroom might evaluate a probationary sentence with dissimilar circumstances of supervision. you should communicate on your legal expert formerly your courtroom listening to. in case you won't be in a position to hit upon the money for an legal expert, the courtroom ought to hire one for you via ability for penitentiary/detention center time in a legal theft case.

Well,a few things have to be considered (having direct exp. on this one). How much can you spend for a lawyer, is this your first offense, did you merely not have permission to drive it, whose car did you steal, etc. Pick one. rat
