How long does an embezzlement case take from start to end?
Q. If the person in question (not me and no relation of mine - thank god) was charged with two felony counts of embezzlement of public funds (school district) in california with two counts special circumstances in October 2005. Bench warrant issued and he was basically forced to turn himself in to sheriff's department in May 2006. He's continued on and on, even asked for dismissal which was denied in November 2006.

A. Well...unfortunately I know someone this happened to too. The deposits went missing over a 10 month period between 2001 and 2002. She was charged in August of 2002, and ended up finally just giving in and screaming uncle, by pleading no contest in August of 2003. She was on probation for 3 years. I know this girl personally, and I know for a fact, she didn't take anything. It's sad. She was railroaded into pleading out because she couldn't take the strain of the court system and the fighting it out, and was having a really hard time proving she didn't do anything wrong. It was a very sad, sad deal, and it really took a lot out of her. Now, she has a horrible time looking for a job, and she isn't very self confident. And...she's… [cont.]

A. If they work out a deal to pay the money all back and a squeaky clean background, they might not do any jail time. It may seem funny to have 8 felonies and get probation, but it does happen.

how do i get a pardon for my felony of embezzlement in a hotel?
Q. 2 years ago i was convicted for embezzlement in a hotel I worked for and just last week the judge took me off probation and dismissed my case {which means that it was lowered from a felony to a misdemeanor}. But I want to know if there is a way to get it pardon? So that I can join the military without any trouble. I'm pretty sure that it will still show up in a background check from a federal agency or the military but not for jobs.

A. Contact the office of your governor and ask about the availability of pardons. However, if it's just for the military, my understanding is that they've waived that. These days, they're allowing felons to enlist.

A. First of all, don't wait two days to take care of this. Under Michigan law, as soon as you know there's a warrant for your arrest, you can be considered a fugitive fleeing the jurisdiction, and any state or federal government benefits you may have can be stopped. Call Michigan legal aid TODAY. Get a lawyer and have that lawyer notify the state that you will satisfy the warrant. Your lawyer will help answer the rest of your questions, but get a lawyer.

What are the consequenses for embezzlement in Arizona?

I was wondering if anyone knew what would happen to me when I go to court, like if I would go to jail. This is the first time for anything, I pretty much have a clean record for now but I was wondering if I would go to jail and how long? Or if I would get probation and fines?

A. You don't get to commit felonies and they cry "but I have a kid" when it comes to sentencing. You're just as much a felon as the adult male with no family at all is. If you have no record, you'll most likely get probation and a fine. But if you've got some priors, which I'm betting you do, jail time is a good possibility.

A. Questions like these make things unnecessarily difficult for the questioner and the potential answerer. You want a procedural answer? Fine - if you've been indicted by a grand jury (basically the way to begin a felony case w/o an arrest), you need an attorney. The court will make some allowances for your attorney's availability (of course, this has its limits, and eventually they will make you get an attorney, and until you do, the judge will suspend the "speedy trial" deadline that normally requires a DA to go to trial w/i a certain period of time). "you may not believe me, but I didn't do it." And why do you think that some of us might be skeptical? Do you think that a few sentences may be a tad insufficient to describe the… [cont.]

(Bookkeeper who is skimming from accounts she is supposed to be writing payroll checks from to employees, only she writes them to fake people and cashes them herself.) False pretenses is you setting up the entire money flow from beginning to end (as in I ask you to invest in my condo complex, only I don't have one, so when you give me your money I've obtained it under false pretenses.)

Asked by Dan - Tue Apr 8 03:28:59 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The prosecution has discretion to pursue whichever offenses they deem worthy of their attention, so long as they act in good faith. Their decision is made independent of the disposition of a corresponding civil action. However, given the seemingly minor and resolved nature of your particular situation, I would be inclined to think that they would have more important matters to use their limited resources on. Hopefully, they'll be lenient...good luck!
