what kind of punishment can you get from that charge?

Burglary without any special circumstances is a class c felony, one of the lower classes. "A person who commits a Class C felony shall be imprisoned for a fixed term of between two (2) and eight (8) years, with the advisory sentence being four (4) years. In addition, the person may be fined not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000)."

it depends if the DA has decided to press charges.  If so..then yes.  If not, I am assuming this is why you were released.

yes,  they  can  charge  you  for   that,  thats   about  the   sickest  thing  a   person  could  do.thats  disrepecting  the  dead.  and  iam   sure  if  their   family  found  out  they  would   beat   the  hell  out  of  you.that  makes  my  skin  crawl  to   think,  that   someone   would   think  or  ask   such  a  thing.

What is the jurisdiction for this scenario?

I don't know about the legal system in your country but if I were you I'd either pay the damn fine or do comunity service. Avoid jail by any means. And plead guilty and sorry, that always helps. \nIf there is such possibility, pick a specific community work I'd like to do and then ask the judge to direct you to the institution/centre/place/whatever.

Yeah depends on priors and you probably have to take a plea bargain by pleadind gulity to something

Both.  \nYou can be sued for money damages (and injunctions) for violation of copyright.\nYou can also be charged with criminal copyright infringement and sentenced to prison, and fined.

Fraud, forgery and theft come to mind. Yes you can sue him civilly, but he can also be criminally charged as well and ordered to pay restitution.

This depends on the state you are in and the judge that you get. There is a range of sentences, and it varies by state.

Seek legal advice - you could take a few dollars off them

Contest the ticket in court and tell the judge you don't want to pay the fine.  The judge will gladly give you a few days in jail instead of a fine.

so i take it u were arrested for this?  okay, a $10 item is like theft in the 3rd degree.  it's like petty theft.  nothing warranting a big to do.  if the store is pressing charges, then yeah, u will have to do the whole court thing.  get a lawyer IMMEDIATELY.  Request a court appointed one if u can't afford it.  Plead NOT GUILTY during ur first court appearance (arraignment).  The burden is on the state to prove its case.  Don't hand it over on a silver platter.  Things can happen by the time u r  scheduled to go to trial.  Charges could be dismissed due to lack of evidence, etc.  Ok, if things don't go ur way, and u eventually agree to a plea deal, u will NOT get jail time for a $10 theft.  the justice dept has much bigger fish to fry (like rapists, child molesters, etc.) than to imprison u for your petty theft.  U will just have to pay restitution (in other words, pay the store $10 for its loss) and court fees.  U will be put on probation and likely have to do a few community service hours.  If u r lucky, u will be able to swing a "deferred sentence" whereby u will NOT have this on your record if u "keep your nose clean" from problems for a designated amt of time.

You might be able to  pay an attorney to get you a better deal. But no, if you are sentenced to jail (unless you appeal quickly), that's where you are going.

Ask you attorney or look in the your state's penal code book.

Nothing. You cant claim he caused you monotary damages because you want to evade paying your bills.

Sure, you could file a civil suit.  If they've been convicted of the crime, you stand a better chance of winning the civil suit.
