My friend was ticketed for trespassing, and I'm just wondering what to expect.
In the morning, he was walking on a strip of pavement that lead to a public high school, which was apparently part of the public school's private property. He's 17, but doesn't attend school. He doesn't work and has no way to get money. This is his first ticket. His parents were willing to pay for the ticket, but he decided to open a trial with plans to defend himself (without a lawyer; not even a court appointed one).
I'm just wondering how likely you think it is that he'll be able to "win" the case, and if he loses, what types of punishment he would recieve. Would the court take into consideration that he has no money and won't make any, or just fine him and expect him to come up with it somehow?
Thanks so much.
