Please, I am really worried. What will happen to me? Will I go to jail? Probation? Prior to this day I was charged with embezzlement, and today I found out i was charged with Probable Cause. What will the judge sentence me with?

Probable Cause is not a charge, it is a burden of proof. Today you found out that there IS probable cause to believe you committed the crime of embezzlement. There could be jail time associated with it, but it will depend on your age and the amount you stole.

Dude, they just found out you have a reason to commit the embezzlement that you are charged with. Now that sounds nasty. If you are 8 years old, probably probation. If you're 17, well it's a different story. Like the guy above me said, there is a possiblity that you will be tried as an adult, and will get the chance to mix with the toughies you think you just see in bad movies.

"Probable cause" is not a valid charge in this day and age and I suspect you've gotten your wires crossed here. If you're guilty of embezzlement, or another crime, they should lock you up and throw away the key. Since you're a minor you'll probably get off with probation and likely not even get your name in the paper either.

you never stated you age. you are considered a adult in most states at the age of 17.you also did not tell us anything about what is going on. based on the little info you gave that this entire story is bogus.

You could be certified as an adult and tried as an adult... meaning, you could go to Big Boy Prison....
