Yes, they can if the State Attorney or District Attorney feels that there is sufficient cause for an indictment on Theft by Deception. You would have to be able to prove your statement indicated above with an executed agreement. Verbal Agreements are very difficult to enforce and prove in Court.

Yes it is possible. It would be "theft of services" is you got caught.

Yes, there a variety of situations in which you could be charged even if you did not have the marijuana when they arrested you. For instance, if they saw you dispose of it, or if they have footage of you selling it, or witnesses who saw you with it at some point.

Yes, but it might be difficult to prove. It is called...i think slander or public defaming or something like that. Despite this, proof of the action(s) might be very difficult to prove, and the cost of the suit might not be reasonable.

There are several parts to your question that needs defining, first are we talking a misdemenor (ie small theft under $50) or a felony? Depending on what is charged ther are limitations based on federal guidelines (if government property) or your local state. Whithout accurate information on what theft occured and in what state it is almost impossible to answer.

According to the law, it's usually called theft and yes, that's illegal.  Often accompanied with B&E (breaking and entering).

I personally feel that every theft is the sole responsibilty of the thief.  But if the palm piolet was not yours but loaned to you, then you may be responsible to replace it.  You have to consider if you were in anyway liable due to your actions or lack of actions.  Did you leave the locker unlocked, even if it looked locked?  Did you leave it in an area that is often broken into?  Did you promise to take care of it no matter what?  If yes, you probably will have to replace it.\nA more disturbing question is, what info was on it?  Was there financial info?  ID?  This could have serious legal ramifications.  You are at the very least responsible to report to police that the item was stolen in case the thing gets used in a crime.

they  can  charge you but depending on the evidence that they have against you you might not be convicted. If you have a public attorney i would ask him to get you your discovery, if not you can go to court and request a copy of the the discover. If there is no evidence to support the charges that they are filing against you have nothing to worry about.\nGOOD LUCK!

It depends on your lease,  but you should be able to contact the local law enforcement agency and get your stuff out of the house. I would get a copy of the canceled checks A.S.A.P. and contact the police and get my stuff out now. Also have a copy of the lease. Good Luck

Your charges are still recorded but if you were ot convicted or you pleaded to a lesser charge, that infomration should also be available.  Now you may have another option.  If it was your first offense you may be able to get it espongued.  Do a search on this for your state or call your local clerk of court to find out more info.  If they have a problem with it which they likely will, just tell them you're working on getting it espongued.  It may or may not help.\n\nGoodluck!

Because this person did not have a FOID (Firearm owners Identifcation card)could be the only reason this would be a federal charge, however the Foid card is state issued, so it may not fall under federal jurisdiction.  The possession thing is truly a serious charge for a convicted felon, plus the firearm will be deemed stolen property w/o a serial number.  These charges will assure your friend some serious prison time.

I'm not sure about a diversion program in California. But I think your best bet is to talk to a lawyer. Initial consultations are free and they will know your options. Because it is a first offense, I would imagine you could probably do a certain amount of community service to be acquitted. However, your being charged will remain on your record. You can have it expunged which will erase it from your record, but you'll need a lawyer and you can only do it once.
