According to South Carolina law,
"SECTION 16-13-30. Petit larceny; grand larceny.
(A) Simple larceny of any article of goods, choses in action, bank bills, bills receivable, chattels, or other article of personalty of which by law larceny may be committed, or of any fixture, part, or product of the soil severed from the soil by an unlawful act, or has a value of two thousand dollars or less, is petit larceny, a misdemeanor, triable in the magistrates court or municipal court, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 22-3-540, 22-3-545, 22-3-550, and 14-25-65. Upon conviction, the person must be fined not more than one thousand dollars, or imprisoned not more than thirty days.
(B) Larceny of goods, chattels, instruments, or other personalty valued in excess of two thousand dollars is grand larceny. Upon conviction, the person is guilty of a felony and must be fined in the discretion of the court or imprisoned not more than:
(1) five years if the value of the personalty is more than two thousand dollars but less than ten thousand dollars;
(2) ten years if the value of the personalty is ten thousand dollars or more."
So, If you took more than $2000 dollars but less than $10,000 you could get anything from stiff sanctions (fines) to 5 years imprisonment. If you took more than $10,000, you could get stiff sanctions (fines) or 10 years imprisonment.
Another View: The above sets forth the statute governing LARCENY.
However if the crime was committed by the employee by virtue of the eimployees power and position within the organization they could be charged with EMBEZZLEMENT or FORGERY (if appropriate). If the funds were held in trust or earmarked for the use of others and/or involve government funds, the charges could be even more severe.
The dollar amount associated for grand larceny in New Hampshire is more than $500. The minimum amount of jail time someone can receive for larceny would be 7 1/2 years.
Unable to answer - insufficient information. It depends on whether it is Petit Larceny (a Misdemeanor) or Grand Larceny (a Felony) - the past record of the perpetrator - and what penalty your particular state statute attaches to it.
up to 15 years federal time . So relax it's like along vacation .
10 years
It's completely up to the sentencing judge. If you were on probation for petit larceny and then committed GRAND larceny (a felony crime), the judge could reasonably assume you had not learned your lesson - revoke your petit larceny probation and send you behind bars for the remainder of the sentence - AND then - you would still face court action for the Grand Larceny. My guess is that you're looking at perhaps a year or so - at the very least, least a couple of months.
In the state of Virginia, you can go to jail for grand larceny, even if it is your first charge. A person convicted of grand larceny in Virginia, can receive a jail sentence of not less than one year and not more than 20 years.
You know it is "stealing", therefore, you should not have done it. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.How would you feel if someone stole your things?..If you do not care about what is happening to the person from whom you stole the object.... that is symptomatic of a SOCIOPATH.Added: Stealing anything is LARCENY. It is the value of the items(s) stolen that determines if the larceny is GRAND Larceny (felony) or PETIT Larceny (misdemeanor).
It depends on the trial and the laws in your jurisdiction.
This depends on the severity of the larceny charges, time in between the previous jail time, and what the law states is the maximum time allowed for the larceny charges. Not knowing South Carolina law, it could be at a minimum one year or more. The court will also take into consideration the recidivism because of the prior felonies and now two more larceny charges. Sounds like someone didn't learn the first time.
Depends on the state law. The crime you described is larceny.
You mean penal- look at the resemblance to the word Penalty- in other words, criminal law defining crimes- and penalties. Theft of a bicycle is obviously larceny, a property crime- as all modern bicycles are worth well over $20 ( the time honored dividing line between petty and grand larceny) - it would be grand larceny. if the bike with equipped with a cellphone or some form of ham radio- well that value would be added-on.
The statute of limitations is the amount of time given for the prosecutor or an individual to press charges in a criminal or civil case. There is no statute of limitations in the state of Virginia for Grand Larceny if the crime committed is considered a felony.
