I am 18, accused of stealing a Samsung smart phone. Phone was returned to owner no damage. What are my chances of going to jail? What punishment will I likely receive? I have no criminal record. This would be my first charge.

You are innocent UNTIL proven guilty.

So, from this point forward, SHUT UP like a clam.

Plead NOT guilty, hire a lawyer, or ask the court to appoint one to represent you, stay out of any additional trouble (hopefully for your sake, FOREVER), wait, work with yoru lawyer, admit nothing confess to nothing, and this might all just be washed away.


The key word is patience.

Long as you have no prior record jail is very very unlikely. Talk to a Lawyer as k about ACD or Diversion as plea option

You need to discuss your options with a lawyer. Since you have no prior criminal record, it would be very unlikely you would face jail time.

Stay out of trouble.

Who accused you? We're you contacted by police? If not then don't worry about anything.
