You won't take it to trial and lose bro. Trials cost money. They don't like going to trial if they can help it. So just act like you're willing to take it all the way and they'll hit you with a lil misdemeanor charge.I logged onto the site but didn't know it was a paid database. I know ignorance isn't a defense though. What kind of time do you think i'd get if i took it to trial and lost?
And assuming you have no priors you'll probably do 0-3 months on a felony theft. Most likely 0 months. They'll let you out with time served and like a couple years of probation. Like i said they won't let it go all the way to trial.
Talk to your lawyer about first felony wavers and deferred prosecution. You'll get some action breh.
