Question

What would be the possible result of theft case?

Answer 1

That's a wide open question. It depends what the theft consists of. Shoplifting is a theft. If it's under 100.00, it's a petty misdemeanor. Usually a fine. Then you move to a theft of items more valuable, which could be a misdemeanor or a felony. You also have to consider the fact of how the theft was committed, did you break into a house? That's another felony charge even if you didn't take anything, only the intent to commit a theft. So to answer your question, anything from a 50 dollar fine to a life sentence in prison.
