This might be a hard malicious mischief case for the DA to prove. Give no statement and be prepared, if you are charged, to ask for a lawyer in court. Or hire your own.

Is it possible for this prisoner to get a personal television, a transfer, a suit, or a lesser sentence?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Joseph Briscoe Dane (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Joe Dane
In general, deals in exchange for leniency are done before sentencing, but if it has to be post-conviction for your plot to work, then. Sure. All those things are potential. Some more realistic than others though. Lets start with where they are housed. Could they offer information in exchange for a transfer? Possibly. But - the DA or judge doesn't dictate where a person will serve their sentence. Thanks typically up to the department of corrections to house an inmate where they feel it inappropriate base on their offense, prior history, history of assault on guards, rules violations, etc. Could the info your guy has be enough to have the cop/DA/judge step in and see if corrections would listen? Yes. It would take cooperation between a number of agencies. Regarding the ability to possess normally forbidden items (many prisons will allow an inmate to have a TV currently) such as civilian clothes. Although anything is possible, it would be such a security risk for them to allow an inmate to be in civvies that it seems unlikely. And even if they would, why would your inmate want a suit? He would instantly be a target of other inmates since he is getting special treatment, etc. And finally reduction in sentence. This will largely depend on your fictional state. I your guy was convicted in California of murder for financial gain (aka paid hit man), he would get life without the possibility of parole if he didn't get the death penalty. Even if a judge wanted to reduce that sentence, that is the mandatory sentence under the law. If your fictional jurisdiction had him serving a "something to life" sentence, it could work out that the prosecutor could put in a strong request to the parole board for your guy. Or not oppose his release. For that matter, depending in his ha your guy has to offer, could the plot include a pardon from the governor? Let me know if you have further questions and good luck on the writing. Pardon any typos, posted via mobile device.

Do they usually give a chance to pay the fines by mail on the first retail theft instead of going to court?

Answered by attorney Stephen Lewis Freeborn (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Freeborn Law Offices P.S.
No. Retail theft (shoplift) is a crime punishable by up to a year in jail and a $5,000.00 fine. The fact that you only stole $30.00 worth of stuff is immaterial. You will have to appear in court. My advice: hire an attorney.
