You don't give the details, but presumably there must be some circumstantial evidence against you at least. Remember that it is for the prosecution to prove beyond reasonable doubt that you stole this money. If you are totally innocent, then it is a matter of sticking to your story without wavering and not allowing yourself to be cowed by the questioning of the prosecution. Don't be tempted by any plea bargaining into pleading guilty. Without knowing more about the matter (for instance, if you were in a position of trust and found guilty, this would be an aggravating circumstance) it is impossible to say what might happen, but I somehow doubt whether a community sentence is likely here. If found guilty you would certainly have to pay the amount concerned by way of compensation as well as costs in addition to any other sentence imposed. But I hope that justice will prevail! All the best to you!

Plead NOT GUILTY and have it dealt with at Crown Court. It must be proven beyond all reasonable doubt by way of evidence and a trial by a jury. Seek a good Solicitor and go from there. DO NOT have it dealt with by Magistrates Court.
They will adjourn it, set a date for commital hearing at which a date will be set for a trial. If you are not guilty then defend yourself to the maximum !

The maximum sentence is 2 years imprisonment but if I were you I would just pay the money. What is more likely to happen (unless they want to make an example of you) is a community service stint or a fine as long as this is your 1st offence.

He replaced into got here across no longer to blame that's a legal term. Innocence is yet another be counted altogether. This replaced right into a classic case of jury nullification. The protection replaced into waiting to skew the info and element the blame everywhere else yet the place it replaced into meant to be: Squarely on the hands of OJ. criminal trials require guilt to be got here across previous a actual looking doubt. Civil trials in straightforward terms require a preponderance of the evidence. No - he replaced into no longer being attempted two times as civil torts and criminal complaints are actually not a similar. undergo in concepts the Rodney King verdicts? They have been got here across no longer-to blame of state crimes, yet got here across to blame of federal crimes. 2 diverse crimes with diverse outcomes. it somewhat is no longer double jeopardy. once you verify in for the regulation enforcement profession, you ought to evaluate which you are the government and in case you act in a manner which violates civil rights, you will be charged federally as properly as interior the state courts. Sidenote: Jury's and courts can not be sure innocence. they are able to in straightforward terms be sure guilt or no longer-to blame.

why have you been charged if you are innocent, they must have proof to charge you, nevertheless if you are found guilty and its a first offence i think it will be a large fine and banned from going to the place where the incident occurred. Good luck.

If you were in a position of trust and found guiltry the penalty will be more severe. At a guess otherwise you will almost otherwise receive a non custodial sentance. liosten to your lawyers

if you are totally innocent you wont be found guilty
if you are telling us porkies and that you are really a thief youll probably get a hand cut off at worst or more likely community service

Well if you are innocent, how come it has gone to magistrates court.
What evidence did have to even accuse you of this.
