My question involves criminal law for the state of: illinois
My friend stole from work and I'm worried sick!?
I can only take what she told me as true. I have no evidence to prove this is true or not. All in all my best friend of 10 years was caught stealing at work (she is 20, no prior law run ins) The LP officer and Regional Manager of this retailer called her and interviewed her about it. She said that she admitted everything she had done. LP said they were leaning more towards settling this with her personally. They had her wrote an admission and sign a promissory note for $500. They said they weren't pursuing any criminal charges at this point and the regional manager gave her some advice for dealing with financial hardship. They then let her go. It's been a little over a week and we haven't heard anything. How long til she can breathe easy? I don't know how to help her or deal with this. She is distraught with worry and guilt and I'm so worried
