Speak Up! - View Question #317 |
 printer friendly version
Question: I am being charged with credit card fraud but have no record, is it possible to get probation?
Answer: Yes. Most often, first time criminal offenders are placed on probation for their crime. The exceptions to this are crimes that involve the death or serious physical injury of the victim or crimes in which the defendant used a weapon, such as a gun or knife. Credit card fraud does not fall under these exceptions and typically, the prosecutor will offer a plea agreement that will place the defendant on probation. Even if the defendant is convicted at trial, however, the judge is likely to place a defendant on probation if he does not have any prior criminal record.

I was unable to access the Speak Up! Form so I will write my question here. I used to work at a restaraunt where I was the manager. I had a usual who lost their credit card but would provide his numbers on a piece of paper. He would then put a $50 tip on the card and I would hand him the money. I am now apparently at fault and have been requested by my former employer to pay for all of his transactions. The card number was fraudulent and the police my become involved. What could happen to me? I did not steal the money but am worried about my future. Please help!
