What is the name of your state? New JerseyA friend has recently been placed in jail for arson. This was his first offense. He is 18 years old. His pregnant girl friend who is 21 has also been placed in jail. As well as his 19 year old friend. None of them have criminal records. Could you please tell me what the worst penalty they can receive is? Will jail time be mandatory? The fact that the girl friend is pregnant only makes the situation worse.
