[QUOTE="witzend, post: 184793, member: 99"] The appearance is most likely an appearance to plead guilty or not guilty. It should take about 5 minutes. They will assign an attorney to your son then. I wouldn't try to sell the "I didn't take it" story, as he had the money in his hands. Judges don't like that. He did take it. Either from the house or from one of his friends, but he took it. His conscience also took hold and he returned the money and apologized. If he doesn't want to tick off the judge, he should truthfully explain his role, point out that he voluntarily returned the money, that he apologized, and apologize again to the people and/or to the court. He will never ever in a million years get a judge to believe that he didn't take the money if he had the money and returned it. I can not impress strongly enough upon you that trying to go with this story would be a really bad idea. As you explained it here, he should not plead "not guilty". It won't go well for him. He should plead "guilty" and allow the court to mete out the appropriate punishment. [/QUOTE]
