not being charged with burglary, but with recieving stollen property and hes getting probation
You still haven't answered my question.
Why would you think a judge would not believe that a person that ADMITTED to being in a home where a burglary was committed and was then found in possession of items resulting from that burglary was not a party to the burglary?
Let's assume, just for kicks, that your brother really didn't know the house wasn't anyone's.
You don't think the court will see a thousand dollars worth of merchandise from that burglary given to your brother as a bribe against disclosure of that burglary. That means that he is just as guilty as the others... because he took a bribe to protect those that committed it.
That makes him at LEAST an accessory after the fact... and in possession of stolen merchandise.. and in possession of weed.
Like it or not, he is NOT going to shake loose from this.
Wait, so now he is NOT being charged with burglary in the second degree?
From the sound of it it's a plea deal, not the best one but beats having a felony on the record
