My question involves criminal law for the state of: Connecticut
Yesterday me and my friend were caught shoplifting. We're both 18 and first offenders. My friend stole 82 dollars worth in jewelry and they got it all back.
She was charged with Larceny 6 and I was charged with Conspiracy to commit Larceny 6.
For being first offenders, what are our possible sentences, especially me. Is my charge "less" bad then my friends or will we get the same sentence?
The cop said it's likely they'll drop the case or just give us community service or a fine for being first offenders. How likely is this?
We are going on Monday to see the public defender and see if he'll take our case.
**Also, how much does a court typically fine? and how long do they give for the person to pay it back?
