    Default Petit Larceny and Criminal Mischief 4th Degree

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: New York

    I was with a 21 year old female and a 16 year old male a few days ago. Earlier that day the 16 year old and his friend robbed a corn stand, we went back later to actually get corn from the spot, turns out, a few hours later the police called us (they got the 16 yr old's cell because earlier that day a old man got their license plate #) and told all three of us to come in monday (yesterday), when we showed up, the 21 yr old female was questioned and then the 16 yr old. I was brought in and arrested and charged with petit larceny and criminal mischief. The police said they had video surveillance of us breaking into the box. There was a old man across the street a few hundred feet away that was watching as i got corn. But it turns out that he stopped the 16 yr old and his friend earlier that day. So im assuming he will be looking for the 16yr old and his friend, not me. What am I going to have to do? Is one witness hundreds of feet away enough? Will i be fine if the old man doesnt recognize me? and if i am charged with these crimes, what will be the outcome? I am 16 and have only a violation for possession of marijuana. I have court on the 20th of September.

    Did the old man justify that he actually saw you? If he didn't, then you're probably ok, but the others aren't, because without proof, they would have to accuse the others for committing the crime.

    Well the guy saw the 16yr olds car, the 16 yr old and the friend. I don't think he saw me at all, but i'm not sure. I'm going today and see if i can repay the farmer and get the charges dropped, avoid the situation completely..
