Should my brother still be n jail ??

Seth David Schraier
Answered by attorney Seth David Schraier
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Seth D. Schraier, P.C.
From the facts you provided, it seems that it will be difficult to prove that your brother committed the crime beyond a reasonable doubt, which is what the District Attorney will have to prove if they take the case to trial.  However, because this is a factual determination, it means that the case will still have to be heard in a trial, unless the District Attorney drops the charges before that point.

What can I do if I did not know that my license was suspended?

This response does not create an attorney/client relationship. If your license was revoked for non payment of a cost of Court, you need to pay the cost and then go to DMV and get your license reinstated. Be sure that your license is revoked only for that and not something else. If it's for something else, please see a lawyer.

What should I expect if this is my first time going to court?

Since the value of the stolen property is less than $950, you will be charged with Cal. Pen. Code 484, Petty Theft, which is a misdemeanor under California law. If the value of the stolen property is $50 or less and this is your first petty theft offence, the prosecutor may reduce the charge from misdemeanor to infraction. Your fist court hearing will be your arraignment. At the arraignment, you will be asked to enter a plea (guilty, not guilty, or no contest). If you enter "guilty" or "no contest" plea, your case will come to the end. If you enter "not guilty" plea, a future court date will be set (either the pretrial or trial). Penalties for violation of Cal. PC 484 typically include up to six months county jail; three years of summary/informal probation; and/or up to $1000.
