15 years old charged with 3 counts of burglary. What to expect?

[username999]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida

I am 15 years old and I have no criminal history.

About a week ago I was charged along with 3 friends for breaking into cars. I got charged with 3 counts of burglary (felonies) and they took me to a juvenile detention center and when I was released they gave me an ankle bracelet.

When we were talking to the police, the only thing I told them was I didn't steal anything from the cars, and one of my friends admitted to doing it.

I have court on December 11, what should I expect? Should I plea not guilty even though I was with them but did not take anything?

You should get a lawyer and direct those questions to him/her. You need one.

If your parents are at all concerned with what's best for you, you can expect to be grounded indefinitely, and have severe punishment at home. As far as criminally, you can still be charged as an accessory to the crime if you went along for the ride and helped them in any way.

As has been stated before, you need to be speaking with an attorney that your parents get to represent you in this matter.

You may find that you willl be sent to detention for a period of time (up to the age of 21). If anyone was injured during the commission of this crime, you could find yourself bound over to adult court. Get an attorney and say nothing to anyone but the attorney.
