My friend was arrested and humiliated in public in Nevada after St.Louis Co. issued a warrant for his arrest. He originally turned himself in and admitted his guilt, but was released until formal charges were prepared. He kept in contact with the detective giving him his contact info, he was not hiding, he even told the detective that he would turn himself in again as he did before, but pressure on the P.D. from his former company forced things to unfold as they did. He has fully cooperated and has shown great remorse. The state of Mo. has charged him with a Class C felony. His family has relocated twice and will do again for a third time. He has no problem paying back restitution, but with a felony conviction, it will probably be a while before his former company get's their money. He has no prior criminal history, he just got caught up trying to keep up with the Jones'. What are his chances?

To quote the great philosopher Barretta..if you can't do the time, don't do the crime.
Sounds like your friend did what they call in the biz the 'perp walk'. Hook 'em up in public to show what happens when you rip people off.
First time, he may get out of jail time, could be beneficial if some restitution money is available.

I have a friend who did the same except the amount was in the millions over a period of years ( he used to rent planes to fly groups of us to places like Florida for the weekend - none of us knew). He was charged by the Feds and ended up spending 4 1/2 years in minimum security ( no Bubba action) . However as a former CPA he will never work again. Legal action by the Law Firm he embezelled from is stil pending in a civil suit. Anything he makes (if he can EVEN find a job beyond flipping burgers) will be owed to the law firm. His life is over at 38 and he looks it. Currently he lives with his mom in Michigan . $60,000 is do able in the payback arena, but who will ever trust him again?

Chances for what? He's likely looking at jail time, and/or community service. He'll have a very, very difficult time getting a job wiht a felony conviction - if he DOES get a job, it's NOT going to pay very much.
The resulting money problems will put a HUGE strain on his marriage - he could easily be looking at a divorce as a result of his criminal actions.
Yes, it's usually humiliating being caught stealing - but he's a thief, so what does he want??

he's in all possibility charged with a classification A misdemeanor, utilising on an identical time as intoxicated. the undeniable fact that they under no circumstances study him his rights ability no longer something. they only would desire to study him his rights if he's in custody and being puzzled. The breathalyzer outcomes have been gained without questioning him (implied consent), implied consent lined the blood pattern too (no unlawful seek or seizure). The case against him is a prosecutor's dream ... conviction basically approximately a certainty! What would desire to he be doing now? Hiring a legal expert that makes a speciality of DUI/DWI defenses. Get a bus time table, a sparkling pair of trekking boots and the telephone variety for cab centers in his city, he's in all possibility going to lose his driving force's license in court. not one of the data would be excluded, plea bargaining a DWI charge is basically approximately impossible in maximum factors. Your chum is in an extremely undesirable place ... in the adventure that your chum is going into court without a legal expert, they are proving them self to be a fool!

$60,000=Big jail time if he is unlucky.
He will need a good lawyer to try to work a plea deal out. If he is very, very lucky, he may only get probation, restituion and a fine. He will also have a record.
Worst case scenario as some of the other's mentioned is his new best friend is named Bubba and his new name is Prison B*tch as he does a couple of years in Prision.

His chances are real good for long blazing hot summers, warm winters, and a boyfriend named Bubba.

You're kidding, right? HE STOLE MONEY!!! It's GRAND LARCENY. That, in my eyes, is as bad as walking into a bank with a gun and sticking up the place!
You do the crime, you do the time!
