[QUOTE="witzend, post: 185159, member: 99"] You know, he doesn't have to plead "guilty", he just needs to tell the truth. They will figure out what he is guilty of, either way. If he's honest and sorry for his role in it, even if he pleads not guilty, things will go better than if he tries to wrangle his way out of it. In all seriousness, they may not have charged him with the correct crime, and "not guilty" may very well be right. But if he tries to make an excuse, he can figure on "guilty as charged, too bad, so sad..." It might be helpful to look up the statute that he is charged with violating and go over it with him. Ask him to look within himself to see if he is guilty. Look at the sub-sections too. He should be aware of where this can go. It can be a misdemeanor or a felony. It all depends upon intent and details. But as a juvenile, the punishment and the type of record he carries with him can all depend upon the remorse he shows. He has already made a good start. Don't let him hang with those other boys and get caught up in their bravado. That's not how he wants to work this at all. [/QUOTE]
