What are the punishments for possession of stolen property under $500 in New York ?
Question Details:
I was charged with possession of stolen items along with my friend. She received an ACD along with 6 months probation. I have to wait for a court date. What will possibly be the penalty? Will the ages matter due to the fact that I'm 23 and my friend was 18? The possession was under $500.
If you are convicted with an A misdemeanor the maximum penalty is up to a year in prison. If your friend received an ACD that is a reasonable possibility for you as well. She probably didn't receive 6 months probation with an ACD because usually if a person is granted an ACD if they stay out of trouble for six months then the case is dismissed.
