My question involves criminal law for the state of: CA
My 15 year old sister got caught for shoplifting the other day. The cop told me the store is pressing charges and that they are charging her and her friends with a felony for burglary because the kids had the "intent" to steal that day. The two kids are 15 year old, this is their first crime ever. I can tell you they will never do this again. The officer also told me that they will send me a court date. Can you please tell me what will most likely happen to these kids? Personally, I am fine with them having to do community service. However, I am concern about any hefty finds, and their record. Thank You.
