Theft, Stealing
Theft charges range from petty misdemeanors
to felonies. Prosecutors will determine the severity of the
charge based on the amount of money or property involved
in the crime.
Some counties offer special programs to
assist individuals to keep their criminal records clear of
a conviction. Most of these rehabilitative programs will require the
offender to sign an admission of guilt, pay a program cost,
and require regular meeting attendance. Further, the individual
may be required to pay restitution to the victim to compensate for the victim's loss.
If a person is required to pay restitution,
the prosecutor is required to provide an Affidavit of Restitution
to detail the exact amount of money being requested by the
victim. The offender is entitled to a restitution hearing
to challenge some, or all, of the funds being requested.
Time Limits on Restitution
There are strict time limits for requesting the hearing that,
if left to pass, will forever bar an individual from challenging
the amount of restitution. |
