    Default Possession of Stolen Property and Embezzlement

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Nevada

    i recently got charged for two felonys.
    - Possession of Stolen Property
    - Embezzlement


    i was held for 3 days, but their policy is that if i don't see a judge within 72 hrs i had to be let go and just be given a court date (which is what happened). Now i have court on the 16th of March.

    This is my very first offense so i asked around when i was there ( i asked inmates and 4 cops) a total of about 20 people.
    All of them said the same general idea. " Be released on probation "

    My moms friend who is an attorney of law, but doesn't do any defense or public defense ( just studieds law and works for law) said that i may be doing a minimum of 1 year to 10 years. if its well over 20k -25k worth of stolen items (which im afraid it was)...

    so if there is anyone who is highly educated in this or has an amount of experience please let me know what is likely to happen.
    I will state again that it is my very first offense and very first time being arrested.
    i believe i'm a good kid....just made fu**ed up decisions.

    So for my first offense what is likely to happen. Please consider my charges and read the entire thing before you give an educated answer/guess.

    -Probation
    -1 to 10yrs
    - Other (explain)


    i'm 19yrs old


    Thanks very much in advance

    What is the dollar amount of the items you stole?

    Oh, and stop talking to inmates and police about your case. You do realize that anything you said to ANY of them could and should be brought up against you in court, right?

    So, if you looked at a cop and said, "Help me.... I stole $100,000 dollars from my work. What will happen?", you just confessed.

    the cops actually told me i didn't go to them...the inmates i went to.

    Normally, I would ask under what you were charged... but let's take a swing...

    I am guessing...

    NRS 205.220 Grand larceny: Definition. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 205.226 and 205.228, a person commits grand larceny if the person:
    1. Intentionally steals, takes and carries away, leads away or drives away:
    (a) Personal goods or property, with a value of $250 or more, owned by another person;

    (b) Bedding, furniture or other property, with a value of $250 or more, which the person, as a lodger, is to use in or with his lodging and which is owned by another person; or
    (c) Real property, with a value of $250 or more, that the person has converted into personal property by severing it from real property owned by another person.
    2. Uses a card or other device for automatically withdrawing or transferring money in a financial institution to obtain intentionally money to which he knows he is not entitled.
    3. Intentionally steals, takes and carries away, leads away, drives away or entices away:
    (a) One or more head of livestock owned by another person; or
    (b) One or more domesticated animals or domesticated birds, with an aggregate value of $250 or more, owned by another person.
    4. With the intent to defraud, steal, appropriate or prevent identification:
    (a) Marks or brands, causes to be marked or branded, alters or defaces a mark or brand, or causes to be altered or defaced a mark or brand upon one or more head of livestock owned by another person;
    (b) Sells or purchases the hide or carcass of one or more head of livestock owned by another person that has had a mark or brand cut out or obliterated;
    (c) Kills one or more head of livestock owned by another person but running at large, whether or not the livestock is marked or branded; or
    (d) Kills one or more domesticated animals or domesticated birds, with an aggregate value of $250 or more, owned by another person but running at large, whether or not the animals or birds are marked or branded.
    [1911 C&P § 373; A 1915, 119; 1947, 85; 1949, 127; 1943 NCL § 10323]—(NRS A 1965, 1007; 1967, 499; 1969, 531; 1979, 155, 1444; 1983, 546; 1989, 71, 1433; 1995, 13, 1221, 1323; 1997, 341)

    NRS 205.222 Grand larceny: Penalties.
    1. Unless a greater penalty is imposed by a specific statute, a person who commits grand larceny in violation of NRS 205.220 shall be punished pursuant to the provisions of this section.
    2. If the value of the property involved in the grand larceny is less than $2,500, the person who committed the grand larceny is guilty of a category C felony and shall be punished as provided in NRS 193.130.
    3. If the value of the property involved in the grand larceny is $2,500 or more, the person who committed the grand larceny is guilty of a category B felony and shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for a minimum term of not less than 1 year and a maximum term of not more than 10 years, and by a fine of not more than $10,000.
    4. In addition to any other penalty, the court shall order the person who committed the grand larceny to pay restitution.
    5. If the grand larceny involved a sale in violation of subsection 3 or 4 of NRS 205.220, all proceeds from the sale are subject to forfeiture.

    (Added to NRS by 1997, 339)
    Needless to say, you need an attorney.

    well, considering it says that the minimum is imprisonment of one year, I think you will get at least a year...

    On THIS charge.

    We still have the stolen goods charge to deal with.
