It is hard to tell many details from the short clip but I am interested in what people think should have happened? What sentence he should have received?
Theft of a play station and pawning it?
Possession of controlled substance and alcohol by person under 21?
Classification of Theft Offenses and Penalties in Nebraska
Like many other states, Nebraska classifies most theft crimes based on the dollar value of the property involved. Let's take a closer look at the different levels of theft penalties under Nebraska law.
Class II Misdemeanor Theft
Theft constitutes a Class II misdemeanor in Nebraska when the value of the stolen property or services is $500 or less. This is the lowest-level theft offense under Nebraska law. A person who commits a Class II misdemeanor theft faces up to six months in jail and a fine of $1,000.
Class I Misdemeanor Theft
A person commits a Class I misdemeanor theft when the value of the stolen property or services involved is more than $500 but less than $1,500. In such a case, the offender is subject to up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Also, a second conviction for a Class II misdemeanor theft (involving $500 or less) bumps the offense up to a Class I misdemeanor theft.
Class IV Felony Theft
Theft constitutes a Class IV felony in Nebraska when the value of the stolen property or services is at least $1,500 but less than $5,000. Under Nebraska law, a Class IV felony is punishable by up to two years in prison and a fine of no more than $10,000.
The law also provides Class IV felony penalties for:
a second or subsequent conviction of a Class I misdemeanor theft (involving between $500 to $1,500), and
a third or subsequent conviction of a Class II misdemeanor theft (involving $500 or less).
Class IIA Felony Theft
Theft constitutes a Class IIA felony in Nebraska when the value of the property or services involved is $5,000 or more. A person convicted of a Class IIA felony faces up to 20 years in prison.
Habitual Felons
Nebraska imposes stiff penalties for repeat felony offenders. A person convicted of a third felony faces a mandatory prison sentence of ten to 60 years' incarceration.
Add possible burglary to theft = Felony
Possession of alcohol and controlled substance by under 21 the alcohol is a misdemeanor the other is a Felony. Here he'd be in prison.
