Felony grand theft under California Penal Code Section 487 is punishable by 16 months, or two or three years in prison and a maximum $10,000 fine. The only way to truly evaluate what the potential consequences would be in your case requires much more detail. You should immediately contact an experienced criminal defense attorney to thoroughly evaluate your case. I hope this answer was helpful. Good luck.

You need to hire an attorney to assist you. It does not sound like the prosecutor has a strong case but you will need help.
