My son was arrested for grand theft and burglary. He is currently in jail and will be going before the judge in the morning. He has never had a record or been in any trouble. What kind of punishment could we be looking at? He was caught robbing an unoccupied dwelling.

When you say unoccupied - do you mean vacant? I don't understand why there would be a TV in an unoccupied building.

Do you know exactly what he's been charged with, what degree?

"The State of Florida classifies crimes by felony / misdemeanor and then degree. There are five degrees of felony crimes: capital, life, first, second, and, third degree. Capital felonies, punishable by death, include the most serious crimes like murder and sexual battery on a child less than twelve years of age. Life felonies are punishable by a maximum of life imprisonment and include burglary with a battery, certain trafficking offenses, and second degree murder. A first degree felony is punishable by a maximum of thirty years in prison, a second degree felony-- fifteen, and a third degree felony--five years. Misdemeanors are either first or second degree. A first degree misdemeanor, like simple battery for example, is punishable by a maximum of one year in the county jail. A second degree misdemeanor is punishable by sixty days maximum. "
