What is the sentence for first time possession of marijuana in ontario, no other factors not a large amount or for sale just possession. Thanks
-
Agree with above, however you could try first court appearance without a lawyer as you may be offered diversion program which means basically that the charges will be dropped. If for some reason you...
-
Hi Freesoul, I don't know how to delete this post but it would be helpful to others in your situation if you would be willing to share your final outcome. Thanks
-
Katie, I believe you will most likely qualify for the diversion program which means the charges will most likely be dropped altogether.
-
Oh sorry, I misunderstood I didn't think A/E would be that rude, however I think you need to speak to someone at A/E I know you have tried that already but I would try again and be persistent until...
-
Hi tina11, that is unbelievable that A/E is treating you that way over this. They should not be harassing you at work and calling you at home like this, it is very unprofessional. Next time they...
-
I am glad you are feeling better about things and let me know how it turns out for you. Good Luck.
-
Agree because it is theft from employer it is treated very seriously you should have a lawyer. Let us know what happened.
-
Something this big definitely needs a lawyer and I would do as they suggest. That is a big amount of money, I agree however not to plead guilty right away that is why you need a lawyer to see what...
-
I think the decision to offer diversion would be based on what the witnesses say as well as what the police wrote as well as if you have any prior police records or convictions. Usually the case is...
-
Yes, on the first court date you will find out if they are willing to agree to the diversion and yes the volunteer letters would most certainly be helpful. I don't think the court will decide...
-
Diversion is a program that you complete that may involve sessions about theft and the harm that it does to everyone and you may have to do some community service, I am not exactly sure what happens...
-
The same thing, theft from employer and the result was a conditional discharge
-
The first time you will see if you are offered diversion or not, which would be the best outcome, if you are not offered this then you need to see a lawyer, there will be another court date, you did...
-
It this is your first offence you may have a chance at the diversion program which would mean no criminal record - you will know when you get to court if they are willing to agree to this. If not,...
-
Hi there, best thing you did is get a lawyer and I also know someone who as you thought confessing would be best and that maybe a deal could be worked out in return for being honest however this...
-
I think they are allowed to video tape you in these circumstances, I really think you need a lawyer's advice.
-
Are you talking about video taping a theft or video taping a police interview?
-
Hey there, yes you are correct theft from employer is taken very seriously in Ontario and therefore unlikely to get the diversion program. In most cases, theft from employer make get a conditional...
-
By qualifying for the program I mean you have to provide more details surrounding the circumstances of your case however in your last post you mention rights as an employee so now I can say that...
-
You have not provided enough information to see if you could even qualify for the alternative measure program which is the same as the diversion program in Ontario. Usually it may be available for...
-
Agree with above, theft from employer is serious however a good lawyer should be able to help you and at best maybe a discharge would be offered.
-
Hello, in most cases theft from employer is treated very seriously in Canada and although this is your first offence it is unlikely that you will be offered the diversion program. You need a lawyer...
-
Theft from employer almost never gets diversion program in Canada although you should try and see what happens. As said before theft from employer in Canada is extremely serious and that is why it...
-
You need to consult a lawyer as theft from employer is treated veryseriously, you may be able to get a discharge which is probably your best bet.
-
Yes, your lawyer can try and convince the crown to change their mind but it is rare that this happens. I am however surprised if this is your first offence that you were not offered diversion. ...
-
Also, the money you stole was from your work making this a theft from employer which is treated very seriously in Canada. You need to see a lawyer.
-
It could make a difference it is hard to say best to consult a lawyer to have more expertise regarding your case and definitely worth paying money to a lawyer if he can avoid a criminal record for you
-
You need to consult a lawyer, are you in Canada? If so theft from employer is treated very seriously, however if it is first offence most likely no jail time, maybe a discharge might be possible...
-
If I had to guess I would say between $2,500 and up to $5,000 or $6,000 depending of course on what is involved.
-
I agree with above poster and also think based on the fact that you obviously did not learn a lesson that you will not walk away this time. Most likely no jail but should be a criminal record.
-
Theft from employer is treated very seriously in Canada. I would get a lawyer and try to get a conditional discharge which would probably be your best.
-
Theft from employer does not usually get diversion as it is treated very seriously in Canada. Best bet is to get a lawyer and try for a discharge.
-
-
I am a little confused, however I do understand that a conditional discharge does not show up on a criminal record as it is not a conviction however it is also true that conditional discharges are...
-
Go to court this morning, you will most likely get the alternate measures or diversion program if this is your first offense, I don't remember reading if this is. Offer to pay money now and that is...
-
Thanks for letting everyone know, that is good news I am glad things went well for you. I think an absolute discharge would be removed automatically after one year from the records however you are...
-
You will most likely get alternative measures which is also called diversion since this is the first offense. You do not need a lawyer unless you are not offered this program and then you would have...
-
I am assuming you have been charged by the police as well, if not yes if you pay back everything there is always the chance they may not charge you however if the police are involved I think you need...
-
Thanks for letting us know, feedback really helps others who may find themselves in the same situation. Good luck to you in the future.
-
Thanks so much for keeping us posted. Good Luck with getting the conditional discharge and once again let us know what happens.
-
I don't think she will get diversion this time although the item is small it is the second time which proves she learned nothing from her first time.
-
I agree with what your lawyer has proposed will happen. I know someone in almost the same situation and that is what they received a conditional discharge. I am still a little unclear on what a...
-
A conditional discharge may be possible but depends on circumstances, like amount, circumstances, co-operation with police etc.. best to discuss with lawyer.
-
Yes, theft from employer is viewed very seriously here in Canada and in most cases will not qualify for the diversion program. You best bet may be a conditional discharge, speak to your lawyer about...
-
As per the answer above if you were a customer only then yes diversion would be the most likely result however theft from employer is viewed much harsher in Canada and the chance of the diversion...
-
I don't think you are facing jail time, if you don't get diversion (since it is an employer issue) I think you will get a discharge.
-
There is not much you can do before you see how the crown is proceeding and that you will know at the first court date when they hand you the disclosure package which is all their evidence and how...
-
It is true theft from employer is treated very harshly in Ontario and you will most likely not get the diversion program. Your best best would probably be a conditional discharge but again this...
-
As Judy said, theft from employer is viewed much differently in Ontario and there is less chance of getting into the diversion program however you won't know until you go to court for the first time....
