got a charge for grand theft third degree . what will the outcome be in court for this

Answered 8 years and 8 months ago by Mr. George Lawrence Sandefer (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
The maximum penalty for grand theft third degree is 5 years prison.  Unless you have a horrible record that is highly unlikely. However, every case is differnt and every jurisdiction is different in the way they handle cases.  You may even be eligible for a diversion program resulting in a dismissal.  I would highly recommend that you call a criminal defense attorney  in your county and let them give you a better idea of what options are available in your particular case.  ...

Answered 9 years and 7 months ago by Michael H. Fayard (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
1. Yes. He can sue you. Whether he wins is another story. The cost of a PS4 controller is less than $50. The filing fees for small claims can range from $130-$300, and that's just to file the action. If he wanted to bring a lawyer on he would spend more on costs and fees than he would if he went and purchased a new PS4 controller, a new PS4 system, all new games, and a new TV.  2. Yes. He could still sue you, but his case would be much weaker as he does not have any damages.    ... Read More
