What is the name of your state? california
My son is 18 and was arrested for stealing $425 worth of merchandiseas an employee with Target. he signed a repayment plan with Target knowing what he had done was wrong, basicaly admitting to the crime and then was picked up and arrested at the store where he worked the same evening. He was released on OR awaiting arraignment court date(May 29th). he is still in high school(graduates June 13th) and had already enlisted in the marine corp prior to his arrest and is scheduled to leave for boot camp (June 18th). My son has a clean record and has never done anything like this in his life. My question is how likely is it that the DA, (Target-his employer) and his defense attorney(public defender) will work togehter to see my son is punished for his crime, but still be able to graduate on time and keep his boot camp ship date(provided his enlistment is still in good standing with the USMC). Will they consider these above factors and timelines in their judgement to enable my son to have a future and serve his community and country or will they not care. Based on all I have written do they look at situations like this with 1st time offenders to offer a viable solution for all parties involved or will the say "too bad you screwed up young man" and have no leanancy.
thanks,
