How do I go about my petty theft charges?

Answered by attorney Naser Jiries Khoury (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Naser J. Khoury
In your situation since this is your first offense you should hire an attorney to represent you, the reason I say this because there are many options that your attorney would be able to get for you. In California some courts have some type of a diversion program as long as the amount of theft is under $60.00, in which you would attend a class or community service and the charges would be dismissed. Second, you can get an infraction a violation of California Penal Code Section 490.1, which would only require a fine and the misdemeanor would be dismissed. Lastly, the attorney can request a different type of charge that is not theft related, for example a trespass, which is not a crime of moral turpitude / dishonesty.

Can I be convicted of gun possession if it wasnt mine?

Answered by attorney Loren M. Dickstein
Criminal Law lawyer at Lewis Dickstein P.L.L.C.
You could be convicted but there is no reason for you to be if you are represented by a good criminal defense attorney. Possession does not have to be actual, it can be constructive. Constructive possession occurs when there is something that is within your dominion and control even if it is not actually in your hand. If you did not know the gun was there and you had nothing to do with it being in the back pack, you are not guilty and you should not plead guilty. Of course I do not know the facts of your case so an attorney who is actually in a position to review the evidence would be in the best position to give you advice.

What is the statute of limitations on a public intoxication charge in California?

Answered by attorney Dennis Julian Roberts (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Dennis Roberts A Professional Corporation
There is something called a Serna motion which says that if they haven't charged you in one year they cannot then charge you. I believe, but am not sure, that it would be good in juvenile as well. My best guess is that if you haven't heard yet some DA has dumped it and did not bother to advise you. Time to move out from mom's house if you want to keep drinking though let me advise you against it.
