Stole from Work for Drugs

hey everyone -

i havent spoke with a DA - just the investigator for the my ex-employer - who has today retired -

ive been arraigned and oh boy.

im being charged with recieving stolen property, access device fraud, forgery, and theft by unlawful taking -- all F-3 charges!! oh my god. im out and still walking and my older brother (god bless his soul) posted 12,500.00 towards an accused debt of 76,000.00 and is 100% capable and willing to help me get it back to them quick.

ive moved to my older brothers house to get out of my drug ridden town and now spend my time with my newborn nephew and 11 year old niece - which feels so good to be away from all of that area i lived in.

my lawyer is setting up a time to meet with me - to discuss what to do next but again i am so terrified - im wondering if i am going to get 20 years in prison for this or what??

is there chances i can work to get these charges reduced? the police are 100% nice and treated me so very well that i was amazed.

so here i am still walking everyone - lets pray this stupid stupid time in my life can be a HUGE wakeup call and i can make this money back and start a new life in a new town.

thanks for the support all!

bump! im still around - its going to county - arraignment there sept 5th - thanks for the help guys.

ok - hows everyone doing - heres the update.

i plead guilty, as i am, and i know what i did was terrible and have recovered quite well - i have a new job making more then the job i was at and am starting restitution payments. my sentences look like this:

mitigated: RS (i think thats probation) standard 6-14months for every felony in this horrid part of my life.

the sentencing judge was very kind and apt to my guilt because i am being 100% honest as I have been and havent argued or fought anything.

he deffered my sentencing and ordered a PSI (pre sentence investigation) which is a life story of me. i think its a great opportunity for me in this as they really dig deep into your life and maybe can see that i really am a normal person that just went hideously insane on drugs for that time period.

so i ask the community here - stating that i have a very good past with no priors - and a very descript plan for my future, including my website against oxy abuse im working on - will i have a shot at getting the probation since it is the mitigated choice on the sentence report?

ayyyeee its almost over - thanks for the help and not bashing a beaten man.
