    Grand theft and burglary
    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. "
