Q: Am i looking at jail time for 2 felony warrants when I've never been in serious trouble?
I used my grandparents bank card in 2016 they want to drop the charges because i have since had a child. They can not because the bank now has them against me for replacing the money taken it was only 480$. The warrants are theft and abuse of a credit card. Im so worried im going to go to jail and loose my disabled daughter. I've been in trouble before but only small things 2 separate times. My mother in law works for an attorney but im not sure if i can trust them together as a team because she wants me to leave my child in her care and im not comfortable with that. It's like the only way i can get help without a public defender, i feel like a puppet of strings.
A: Jail time is a possibility on any felony charge. That said, if your history isn't that bad, the victim isn't upset, and the offenses are non-violent, there is a good chance at probation.
