My son goes before the Magestrate in a few days. He is being charged one count of breaking & entering and one count of conspiracy. He and his roommate were on the roof of a school building checking it out for a possible place for a party when his roommate found a service entrance that was not locked. My son followed his roommate into the building and as he put it were just "exploring" until roommate came out of a classroom with a computer worth around $3000.00. (the roommate is being charged with breaking and entering and larcency). The school put out an email to everyone that if it were returned no charges would be filed. Several people knew the item was in their possesion and that their intent was to return it. Which they told the police. The Department head got wind of this, called the police and the fraternity was searched. At the time, no names were given and the school did not know who had taken the computer, until both boys met with the Dean the following morning. hey went voluntarily and gave statements to the police. The school has issued 20 hours of community service to my son (which he has already started) and will pay $500.00 toward the new computer that the Dean had already purchased to replace the missing one. He has been suspended from the fraternity and has moved back into a dorm room. What should we expect from the Magesstrate? Does anything the school has already imposed on him help? We did not contact a lawyer as the Leutenant I spoke to said the procesuctor works with the school on these issues. What do you think?
