I was arrested and charged with 484 petty theft recently.
The latest offer from the prosecutor is to drop the 484 charge to a trespass charge and to impose a 18-months summary probation and some fines.
Questions:
1. There are a number of trespass charges in CA. Can anyone tell me which ones are not CIMT?
2. I have been told that if it is a CIMT, the sentence needs to be six months or less to be qualified for the petty offense exception. And if it is not a CIMT, the sentence needs to be less than one year to avoid being classified as an aggravated felony for immigration purposes. My question is do probationary periods count? Is a 18-month summary probation considered a 18-month sentence???
