    Question Shoplifting and Possible Jail Time

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Nebraska. 2 friends stole quite alot of property from a wallmart. a 10 person tent, 2 air mattresses, some video games, and little memory card type things. im assuming everything stolen would cost around 1000 to 1500. one of the three friends (18 years old) was knowingly the getaway driver but had a clear record with nothing more than afew speeding tickets. would the driver do any jail time?

    Will he? Crystal ball is fuzzy.

    Could he? Heck yeah, he is an accessory to the crime. Won't know until the courts do their thing.

    Just as in a bank robbery...he is the getaway driver, and just as guilty.

    With the amount your friends stole, they are facing some serious charges. If they have not retained lawyers yet, they better do so now. If they can't afford one, in court they should plead "Not Guilty" and ask for a public defender.

    Tell your friends to start saving every penny they can get - they are looking at THOUSANDS of dollars each in fines, civil demand, and whatever else the court orders (even probation is not free).
