WOW !! I wouldn't want this group as my jury!!
In all fairness, $150.00 is not a lot of money. The perp would probably get probation and community service if it's a first or second offense. Restitution would probably be par of it, as well.
If it is a repeated offense, then the judge may be a bit harder and sentence them to some jail time.

the respond is, it relies upon on the place the theft befell, what past record the thief had, and what temper the decide grew to become into in. the place I stay, the optimal penalty for this is 6 months in detention center, for a ordinary offense. it would be very unusual for a ordinary criminal to actual get that; plenty extra in all threat they might get probation that required they pay a great and carry out community provider. i understand a individual who's at the instant serving sixteen months in detention center for stealing an merchandise nicely worth $12. even with the indisputable fact that, this individual has 2 past criminal theft convictions. In some areas, with a extreme adequate past record, that's obtainable to get existence in detention center for stealing $a hundred and fifty.

If they already have a long criminal record they could go to jail. If this is their first offence, then they can be ordered to pay the money back and will probably get a suspended sentence and/or probation.

the jail time is 5 to 10 years and how come you would like to know? did you have that much money stolen from you and do you know who it was?

They would get arrested, but jail time, maybe a few days. The judge will give you restitution. And if that person doesn't pay, he might get jail.

Definitely, the culprit is destined for jail if you file your complaint against him because what he did was theft and it is punishable under the Penal Law.

not really. you can file a complaint. its considered petty theft.
they get fined and let go. the "most" amount of time they'd spend in jail would be for booking.

Under $1000.00 is considered petty theft.
(misdemeanor) If this is a first offense, more than likely just probation
