    Default Informant Gets Better Deal Than Accessories To His Crime

    So heres my story ill try an keep it short. June 2005 me my friend and my othe friend freddy are drunk. one friend breaks into a house takes a laptop i stand by the door watch an get a house phone. then 3 hours later we see a store thats already been broken into an looted but we go in with 7 other people and freddy breaks over 1000$ worth of items. Later us 3 are arrested. Freddy rats everyone out and gets only burglary in the 3rd degree class D felony. Me an my friends get 2 counts burglary in the 2nd and 3 class C and Class D felonies. Now at the time this happened i was 18 and 3 months freddy was 17 and 11 months and my friend was 17 and 4 months. Well now its march 2006 an we are awaiting sentenceing. Me an my friend have clean records no priors. freddy has a misdeanor prior and recently 2 new class a misdemeanors for assault. I was told today we are looking at Youthful Offenders which means sealed record 6000$ restitution which should be only 1500$ but people are money hungry and i understand not a problem but. me and my friends are said were getting 5 years probabtion. while freddy will only get 3 years maybe and have it dropped to a misdemeanor. I asked to do community service to get recuced probation to 3 years they are saying no. I find this not fair and was wondering what your thoughts comments and any experience with such a case may be. thank you for anyone taking time to help out here.

    It sounds like it paid off, bigtime, for him to rat you (and your friends) out.
