I dont expect help for my case, but I would like to know how much time I am facing if found guilty. Here is the scenario:

My father called a church about obtaining a aluminum steeple that was dismantled and on the church property and had been sitting out there for years. My father was told he had permission to get the steeple after several calls. So Me, My father, and my mother, obtained the steeple and sold it to a metal recycling center for between $400-$500. A week later we were contacted by the police, they wouldnt tell us anything but said they wanted to talk to us. I went down there and talked to em. I lied about going down there, yes It was completely stupid, but I did. Once he showed me a picture of myself at the metal shop I told them the truth about everything. The victims told the police, and prosecutor that we did call them. However, they say my father didn't ask for the aluminum cross that he asked for a small wooden cross that was in the back. We were arrested and charged with grand larceny, conspiracy, and selling stolen property.

If found guilty, what kinda time am I looking at?
My mother has no priors. My father has a felony conviction 20 years ago, of a totally different type of nature, nothing to do with theft. I have a conviction in 2008 for distribution of cocaine, and I had 4 and half years suspended on that charge.

Grand larceny is an unclassified felony with a specific punishment assigned by the code section of not less than one year in prison but not more than twenty or in the discretion of a jury or judge trying the case.

you and your parents should say no more and hire an attorney or get the court to appoint you one. If you are still on probation or parole then you could be in violation and have to serve some of or all the time left on your previous conviction. If you are not on probation or parole then that past suspended time can not be given to you. Good luck and ask your attorney about paying the church back before you go to court as that may help. Again consult your attorney from here on out.
