How much the shoplifting's fine at Fry's Electronic in usually is ?

My younger brother got caught of stealing 2 screen protectors (10 bucks each) at Fry’s Electronic in San Jose . He was nice and listen to the security when he got caught . Later the police came and gave him a ticket so he has to go get fingerprint at the Police Station at least 3 weeks before he go to court on September. As the police said , he has to pay a fine for that btw. Right now , he ‘s 18 , still goes to college and hasn’t get a job yet. Anyone know how much usually for this case’s fine or any experience , please share. Thanks

It depends…if its a misdeamenor, the fine will be around $300 to $500. If he can get it reduced to an infraction, the fine will be around $100. Also, there will be TWO fines - one to the court that I’ve described for the criminal conviction, and one for the civil case that will be paid directly to Fry’s lawyers. Expect a letter or phone call from them in about a month. I’m assuming his ticket is for petit larceny, which is a misdemeanor. If at all possible, it is SO important to hire a lawyer. Yes, they are expensive, but they know what they are doing, they know the DA and they are your best bet to getting the charge reduced, if not dropped.

What happen in the court with your little brother Theft 3? Any community service? Did you obtain a lawyer?
