AboutJack Toomey Expertise Please do NOT ask questions about potential jail sentences that you or your friends may receive in court. There is no way for me to know that. I am NOT a probation officer or a parole officer so questions about those subjects will be rejected. I am a police officer with 26 years experience. Can answer questions about crime, police procedure, investigations, criminal law, search and seizure, traffic offenses. Prefer not to answer questions on the death penalty. Please do not ask homework questions. Remember this. The law in every state is different so questions about laws that are specific to your state could be difficult to answer.
I also cannot give you legal advice on what to do or not to do in court.
I have worked with authors in the past and will be happy to review scenarios or plots with authors to check for believability or accuracy.

Answer A.D,
Did you read my profile? I clearly state that I cannot predict what is going to happen in to any defendant, in any courtroom, in any state in the country. It is because there are many variables involved in every case such as the laws in your state, the sentencing guidelines, the prior record of the defendant, the wishes of the victim, community standards, and many others.
I can answer your question about the definition of the charge. Larceny means to steal. Larceny of an auto means to steal an auto.
You need to retain an attorney because a conviction could put you in jail for years.
