If i have stolen jewlery and forged checks, but have paid all neccessary funds back with out any legal or court arrangements, could i face any penalties? i am 20 years old and this would be my first charge i have ever had. i live the in kentucky.
Answer
Yes, you could still face criminal charges. Paying back what was taken does not negate that a crime was committed. If charges are filed against you, it will be up to the commonwealth to make a recommendation and up to the court to sentence, if you plead or are found guilty.
