theft with deception

What is the name of your state? Missouri
husband charged theft w/ deception.has no prior arrests or charges.was working in the public safety department of a university Someone brought in $751 they had found he called a friend and told him that the $ was turned in and if his friend would claim it then they could split the $ The two of them felt bad about what they did and they turned the $ back in, in less than 24 hours. The university had them both arrested and charged with theft with deception. What is likely to happen? Is there anything that we can do to try to prove to the court that he will never do anything like this ever again?

Almost every dog gets one free bite.

He will be ok - it's just an attempted larceny by fraud - no blood, no foul. If he has no record, is an otherwise upstanding citizen, and sends me $5,000 in small, unmarked bills. (just kidding about the last part)

He'll get a slap on the wrist and told to go forth and "sin no more." Probably it'll cost him somekinda fine - courts love to fine guys who seek to unjustly enrich themselves. I think they call it "poetic justice" or something.


He's your husband? What an idiot. You should rag him forever on this and he should kiss your feet for putting up with him. I hope he's really young so that this whole thing was just some kind of "youthful indiscretion" - if not, man - what a loser!!

Good luck to you!

A good lawyer should be able to get him off this one! But, he may still lose his job at teh University. They can set different standards than required by criminal law.

I'd can him in a New York minute, myself. There's no obligation to keep a creep, crook, conman or wannabe on the payroll. You are dead on.
