What will happen to me if I got caught shoplifting for the second time?

Steven Fairlie
Answered by attorney Steven Fairlie
Criminal Law lawyer at Fairlie & Lippy, P.C.
No lawyer can tell you what will happen in Court as that will be up to a Judge or Jury. If you are found not guilty nothing will happen other than paying your attorney, which is not refunded or reimbursed if you win. If you are found guilty then you will get a penalty within a wide range of possible outcomes. It is not clear from your question, as you could have been only cited in the first case, and thus this could now be your first arrest but second conviction which would guarantee that you are facing a misdemeanor. If your first case was dismissed then if this charge is under the threshold amount you could be facing a summary offense, in which case your worst case scenario is 90 days in jail, and that almost never happens where I practice.

Is restraining order still in affect after death?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
No, they are likely charging you with illegal possession of a firearm under federal or state law. When the DV restraining order was issued, you became a ?prohibited person? not allowed to possess firearms or ammo, for life, unless it had an specified limited term of prohibition, such as 5 or 10 years. When questioned, arrested or charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained in a search or statement be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do? A little free advice: exercise the 5th Amendment right to SHUT UP and do NOT talk to police or anyone about the case except with and through an attorney. Raise all appropriate defenses with whatever witnesses, evidence and sympathies are available for legal arguments, for evidence suppression or other motions, or for trial. Effective plea-bargaining, using those defenses, could possibly reduce the potential time and other penalties you face. If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, program, or other decent outcome through motions, plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate.
